Women and the Reformation

Proposed Argument

I will argue how women and the reformation dealt with their roles as women and how it compares to the women in the 20th century. Did women in the church have a voice? Were women respected by the men and how society did treat them as women in the cities where they lived? I will also look at the women of the reformation who were educated and made their voices heard. Many may argue that the women in the reformation were less then, however, as women of the church, wives and mothers they soon had the opportunity and freedom to make changes. I wonder where women would be today if it was not for the women who spoke up for change. Great women still after the reformation continue you to speak today to continue change not only in the church but in society.
