Making Women Martyrs in Tudor England examines the portrayal of
Protestant women martyrs in Tudor martyrology, focusing mainly on
John Foxe's Book of Martyrs . Foxe's women martyrs often defy not
just ecclesiastically and politically powerful men; they often defy
their husbands by chastising them, disobeying them, and even

his heroic women challenge the foundations of social and political
order, offering an accessible model for resistance to antichristian
rule.
