Strangers at Home: Amish & Mennonite Women in History

This collection of original essays focusses on the rich, historically diverse and often misunderstood experience of Amish, Mennonite and other women of Anabaptist traditions across 400 years. Equal parts sociology, religious history and gender studies, the book explores the changing roles and issues surrounding Anabaptist women in communities ranging from sixteenth-century Europe to contemporary North America.
