Description of E. Jane Dempsey Douglass, author of Women Freedom and Calvin:

Freedom, as understood by John Calvin, and as applied to the role of women in church and society, is the subject of this provocative book. Putting into perspective today's discussions about women in the church, particularly their ordination, the author looks not only at Calvin's Institutes but also at the worlds of humanists who were contemporaties of the Reformer, along with writings by and about women that could have influenced him.
