Harlot, pious martyr, marriage breaker, obedient sister,
prophetess, literate woman, agent of the devil, hypocrite. These
are some qualifications of the image of Anabaptist/Mennonite women,
from a wide array of perspectives. Over the ages they became both
negative and positive stereotypes, created by either opponents or
sympathizers, as a means of demonizing or promoting the dissident,
radical free church movement. This volume explores the
characteristics, backgrounds and effects of the collective
perceptions of Anabaptist/Mennonite women, as well as their
self-understanding, from the sixteenth into the nineteenth
centuries, in a variety of case studies. This is not a gender study
in the traditional sense. The theory of imagology sets the stage
for the interpretation of the image of the European Mennonite
sisters, acting within their religious, moral, cultural and social
landscapes of Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland,
Switzerland, and the Ukraine (tsarist Russia).
