In
Popes and Feminists, Elise Crapuchettes explores how the Protestant Reformation reshaped the way women viewed their roles in faith, work, and family. Before the Reformation, the Catholic Church taught that the holiest path for women was life in a convent. Being a wife or mother wasn’t seen as a spiritual calling. Reformers challenged this idea, turning to the Bible to affirm that all honest work whether in the home or elsewhere, can be God-honoring.
Crapuchettes draws a bold comparison between the old Catholic view of women and modern feminism. She argues that just as convents once limited women’s roles, today’s culture often pushes women to find their worth only in careers outside the home. The book encourages Christian women to rethink those ideas and find inspiration in the lives of Reformation-era women, who lived with faith, courage, and purpose in their daily lives.
The first part of the book offers strong historical insight and theological reflection. Many readers find this section eye-opening and helpful. The second half shifts focus to short biographies of women from the Reformation, which some find inspiring, while others feel it becomes repetitive or less focused.
Although not everyone agrees with all of Crapuchettes’ views, and some may wish the book were more polished in style,
Popes and Feminists gives thoughtful encouragement to Christian women who want to better understand their identity and purpose. It challenges the idea that influence must come from public positions or high-powered careers, and instead celebrates the quiet strength of women who serve faithfully in their homes and communities.
This is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in women’s roles, church history, or how faith shapes everyday life.
