Book Description
This innovative volume brings together essays on women's religious experiences in both Europe and the Americas during the colonial era. Four European countries-France, Spain, The Netherlands, and England-and four of their respective colonies-Quebec, Peru, New Amsterdam (New York), and New England-are examined. The collection provides the first comparative look at gender and religion throughout the Atlantic World.
