Summary:

"This book explores how the religiously defined roles of Amish women have changed as Amish churches have evolved. It looks at women's lives and activities at different ages in life and in different communities. It also considers Amish women's social and economic interactions with mainstream society as these interactions relate to their family and church roles in their own communities."-- Provided by publisher.
