This book explores changing gender and religious roles for Catholic men and women in the British Isles from Henry VIII's break with the Catholic Church in 1534 to full emancipation in 1829. Filled with richly detailed stories such as the suppression of Mary Ward's Institute of English Ladies it explores how Catholics created and tested new understandings of women's and men's roles in family life ritual religious leadership and vocation through engaging personal narratives letters trial records and other rich primary sources. Using an intersectional approach it crafts a compelling narrative of three centuries of religious and social experimentation adaptation and change as traditional religious and gender norms became flexible during a period of crisis. The conclusions shed new light on the Catholic Church's long-term ongoing process of balancing gendered and religious authority during this period while offering insights into the debates on those topics taking place worldwide today.
