Publisher's Synopsis
The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women is a polemical treatise written by John Knox, a Scottish Protestant reformer, in 1558. The book argues against the rule of women in government, specifically targeting the reigns of Mary I of England, Mary of Guise in Scotland, and Catherine de' Medici in France. Knox argues that women are unfit for leadership roles because of their inherent weakness and emotional instability. He also cites biblical passages to support his argument that women should not have authority over men. The book caused controversy at the time of its publication and continues to be a subject of debate in modern times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
