Notable Women Of The Covenant: Their Lives And Times (1883)

""Notable Women of the Covenant: Their Lives and Times"" is a historical book written by William Chapman and originally published in 1883. The book explores the lives of notable women who played significant roles in the Scottish Covenanting movement during the 17th century. The Covenanters were a group of Scottish Presbyterians who opposed the imposition of bishops and the interference of the Stuart monarchs in the affairs of the church. The book features biographical sketches of women who were active in the movement, such as Margaret Wilson, who was martyred for refusing to renounce her faith, and Marion Harvie, who helped to smuggle Bibles and religious literature into Scotland. The book provides a detailed account of the political and religious context in which these women lived and the challenges they faced as they stood up for their beliefs. It also sheds light on the role of women in the Covenanting movement, which is often overlooked in traditional historical accounts. Overall, ""Notable Women of the Covenant: Their Lives and Times"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Scottish history and women's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
