Women’s Prophetic Writings in Seventeenth-Century Britain.
Abstract
Carme Font’s new book on seventeenth-century female prophets
demonstrates how women were able to use prophetic writings as a
catalyst for change, both personal and political. She examines prophecy
as a literary genre of social transformation that empowered women,
making them activists.
