Devout laywomen raise a number of provocative questions about
gender and religion in the early modern world. How did some groups
or individuals evade the Tridentine legislation that required third
order women to take solemn vows and observe active and passive
enclosure? How did their attempts to exercise a female apostolate
(albeit with varying degrees of success and assertiveness)
destabilize hierarchies of class and gender? To the extent that
their beliefs and practices diverged from approved doctrine and
rituals, what insights can they provide into the tensions between
official religion and lay religiosity? Addressing these and many
other questions, Devout Laywomen in the Early Modern World reflects
new directions in gender history, offering a more nuanced approach
to the paradigm of woman as the prototypical "disciplined" subject
of church-state power.
