| Abstract | 2015 marks the 80th anniversary of the first publication of Herbert Grundmann's monumental study, Religious Movements in the Middle Ages, and the 20th anniversary of its translation into English. Part of a strand exploring the origins and impact of Grundmann’s historiographical legacy, this session looks anew at recent trends concerning the development the 'women’s religious movement,' a term Grundmann coined. Issues of gender, class, social status and social mobility contributed to the development of the women's religious movement and these papers address the many varieties of reformed religious life that that phrase has come to encompass. |
