Summary: "Woman, Church & State" by Matilda Joslyn Gage is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book critically examines the historical treatment of women by both religious institutions and state authorities, challenging the widely held belief that the rise of Christianity improved women's status. Gage argues that women once held significant power in societies governed by matriarchal systems, and she seeks to illuminate the injustices faced by women as a result of patriarchal structures that have taken their place. At the start of the work, Gage presents a preface that outlines her motivations for writing this book, emphasizing her indignation towards the male-dominated Church and State that have perpetuated the subjugation of women throughout history. She asserts that women enjoyed greater liberties in ancient civilizations, particularly under matriarchal governance, and she aims to refute the notion that Christianity elevated women's status compared to earlier periods. Gage’s initial arguments set the stage for a thorough exploration of historical precedents that illustrate the systemic oppression of women as dictated by religious dogma and societal norms.
