Title: Common whores, vertuous women, and loveing wives
Description: "By closely examining thousands of wills and other personal documents, as well as early Maryland's material culture, this transatlantic study depicts women's place in society and the ways in which religious values and social arrangements shaped their lives.

Common Whores, Vertuous Women, and Loveing Wives takes a revisionist approach to the study of women and religion in colonial Maryland and adds considerably to our understanding of the social and cultural importance of religion in early America."--BOOK JACKET.
