Katharina von Bora. Defiant and determined, refusing to be
intimidated. . . In many ways, it was this astonishing woman (not
even her husband, Martin Luther, could stop her) who set the tone
of the Reformation movement. In this compelling historical account
of a woman who was an indispensable figure of the German
Reformation-who was by turns vilified, satirized, idolized, and
fictionalized by contemporaries and commentators-you can make her
acquaintance and discover how Katharina's voice and personality
still echoes among modern women, wives, and mothers who have
struggled to be heard while carving out a career of their own.
Author and teacher Ruth Tucker beckons you to visit Katie Luther in
her sixteenth-century village life: What was it like to be married
to the man behind the religious upheaval? How did she deal with the
celebrations and heartaches, housing, diet, fashion, childbirth,
and child-rearing of daily life in Wittenberg? What role did she
play in pushing gender boundaries and shaping the young
egalitarianism of the movement? Though very little is known today
about Katharina. Though her primary vocation was not even related
to ministry, she was by any measure the First Lady of the
Reformation, and she still has much to say to Western women and men
of today.
