The fifteen hagiographies about holy women of the Syrian Orient
collected here include stories of martyrs' passions and saints'
lives, pious romances and personal reminiscences. Dating from the
fourth to seventh centuries A.D., they are translated from Syriac
into accessible and vivid prose. Annotations and source notes by
the translators help clarify elements that may be unfamiliar to
some readers. This collection bears witness to the profound
contributions women made to early Chistianity: their various roles,
their leadership inside and outside the church structure, and their
power to influence others. A new preface discusses recent
developments in the field and updates the bibliography.
