Book Synopsis Female Piety in Puritan New England by : Amanda Porterfield
Book excerpt: This treatise documents the claim that, for Puritan men and women alike, the ideals of selfhood were conveyed by female images. It argues that these images taught self-control, shaped pious ideals and established the standards against which the moral character of real women was measured.
