- Title
The Collective Response of Women to Early Reforming Preaching: Four Small Communities and Their Preachers Compared.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article discusses the role of women during the reformation in Germany and above all collective actions pursued by them at the time. The centerpiece of the article concentrates on case studies in which crowds of women in German towns rallied in order protect their evangelical preachers from arrest or banishment. These events are the only recorded examples of collective action by women in the early Reformation in Germany. Given the rarity of such examples of solidarity by women on behalf of their preachers, a comparison of the circumstances between the few cases that took place at the time would be advantageous for Reformation history scholarship in that it would provide insight on how women responded to evangelical preaching, a theme that had been neglected so far in the discipline.
