Overview

Ruth Watts looks at the role the radical religious sect, the Unitarians, played in helping to open the door to female emancipation. In the process, the author reveals the complex relationship between religion, gender, class and education during this period. The Unitarians had a disproportionate amount of influence in some significant urban areas.
