""Women, Church and State"" is a historical account written by Matilda Joslyn Gage in 1893 that explores the status of women throughout the Christian ages. The book delves into the ways in which women have been oppressed and marginalized by the church and state, and how these institutions have perpetuated patriarchal norms and practices. Gage also provides insights into the matriarchal societies that existed before the rise of Christianity and how these societies were suppressed and erased by the patriarchal forces of the church and state. The book is a powerful critique of the ways in which women have been denied their rights and freedoms throughout history, and it serves as a call to action for women to reclaim their power and agency. Gage's work is a seminal text in the feminist movement, and it continues to be relevant today as women continue to fight for equality and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
