"Epp's liberal use of moving personal stories and effective
analysis illuminates the fascinating, painful, inspiring, and even
contradictory lives of women who have negotiated, resented,
modified, or openly resisted the patriarchal underpinnings of their
ethno-religious group."--Franca Iacovetta, University of Toronto,
author of Gatekeepers: Reshaping Immigrant Lives in Cold War
Canada
"This is an impressive book that breaks new ground in Mennonite
history by demonstrating how women's situations were so varied that
the ideals of women's behaviour did not always match the realities
of women's lived experiences."--Rachel Waltner Goossen, Washburn
University, author of Women Against the Good War: Conscientious
Objection and Gender on the American Home Front, 194147
