Quaker women were unusually active participants in seventeenth- and
eighteenth-century cultural and religious exchange, as ministers,
missionaries, authors and spiritual leaders. Drawing upon
documentary evidence, with a focus on women's personal writings and
correspondence, Naomi Pullin explores the lives and social
interactions of Quaker women in the British Atlantic between 1650
and 1750. Through a comparative methodology, focused on Britain and
the North American colonies, Pullin examines the experiences of
both those women who travelled and preached and those who stayed at
home. The book approaches the study of gender and religion from a
new perspective by placing women's roles, relationships and
identities at the centre of the analysis. It shows how the
movement's transition from 'sect to church' enhanced the authority
and influence of women within the movement and uncovers the
multifaceted ways in which female Friends at all levels were active
participants in making and sustaining transatlantic Quakerism.
