A rare, precious glimpse into the lives of seventeenth-century radical Protestant women. Voices of Thunder illuminates the stories and beliefs of more than a dozen seventeenth-century radical Protestant women, including a Colchester woman who feared that her four children would starve to death and a former maidservant from Yorkshire who was granted an audience with the sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Their belief in spiritual equality empowered them to resist the status quo, questioning the authority of those who sought to lord it over them. From mostly humble backgrounds, they found ways to make their voices heard, creating some of the earliest autobiographical accounts in English and allowing us a rare and precious glimpse of the lives and experiences of women in the early modern era.

Not long now until ‘Voices of Thunder: Radical Religious Women of the Seventeenth Century’ by @drnaomibaker.bsky.social is published.

It’s out on 1st October from Reaktion Books.
