"WOMEN OF EARLY CHRISTIANITY" by Rev. Alfred Brittain and Mitchell Carroll is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the significant impact of Christianity on the status and roles of women during the early centuries of the faith. It delves into the lives of various female figures from the Gospel narratives and the Apostolic Age, offering insight into their contributions to Christianity and their social conditions at the time. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for a thorough examination of women's roles in early Christianity, emphasizing how the religion transformed the societal stature of women compared to previous traditions. It begins with an extensive introduction that outlines the historical significance of women in relation to the rise of Christianity and how it introduced a new moral epoch that favored gender equality. The impending chapters are expected to recount the lives of women such as Mary, the mother of Jesus, and to illustrate their varying experiences, ranging from those who flourished under the new faith to those who struggled against existing cultural constraints. Through this approach, the authors seek to create a narrative that recognizes both the women who thrived and those who failed to embody the ideals espoused by Christianity, setting the groundwork for a deeper exploration of this transformative period in women’s history.
