Women in Early Austrian Anabaptism, Their Days, Their Stories
by Linda A. Huebert Hecht

Previously untold stories of women persecuted for their faith during the  early years of the Reformation are revealed in Austrian Anabaptist court records. In the turbulent years of the early 1500s, women chose to express their personal faith publicly through adult baptism which was outlawed.
They took the initiative to proselytize among family members and neighbours. Their commitment to the Anabaptist movement demonstrated a profound faith and courage. Their willingness to suffer for their faith should inspire readers today.
