Reviews

". . . an enormous contribution to Schleiermacher studies, as well as to theology and women's studies, by interpreting Schleiermacher squarely in his early nineteenth century context. Hers is the first book-length study of Schleiermacher's views on gender and his relationships with women. . . . Beyond the stated subject of her monograph, Richardson has uncovered some items that will be of much wider interest to all Schleiermacher scholars. . . . This is a fine book that deserves a wide reading, both by Schleiermacher specialists and by scholars interested in gender analysis and the history of the women's movement. It is erudite and original without being burdensome: the writing is graceful and easy to read. . . . an essential text for all library collections in religious studies." - Critical Review of Books in Religion, 1994
