Descrição
The period 1620-1660 saw the emergence of several English women, of varying classes, who chose Biblical prophecy as an entry into public, political discourse. Many of these women, such as Hester Biddle and Margaret Fell Fox, stated their opinions with relative clarity.

This paper proposes some methods of addressing Douglas’s texts, and works through some particularly difficult passages.
