Publisher's Synopsis
""Woman, Church And State"" is a historical account written by Matilda Joslyn Gage in 1893 that explores the role and status of women throughout Christian history. The book examines the impact of religion, particularly Christianity, on the position of women in society and the church. Gage delves into the patriarchal nature of Christianity and how it has perpetuated the subjugation of women for centuries. She also discusses the matriarchal societies that existed before the rise of Christianity, and how they were suppressed and replaced by patriarchal systems. The book provides a detailed analysis of the cultural, social, and political factors that have shaped the status of women in different societies, and the role that religion has played in this process. Through her extensive research and insights, Gage advocates for the empowerment of women and the need to challenge the patriarchal systems that continue to oppress them. Overall, ""Woman, Church And State"" is a thought-provoking and insightful historical account that sheds light on the complex relationship between women, religion, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
