Book Synopsis
Shows how author's teacher and reformer used exceptional rhetorical skills to defend her ideas at a time when women were denied participation in theological discourse. This title correlates the stylistic techniques of humility, irony, obfuscation, and humor with social variables such as the marginalized status of pietistic groups.

Trade Review
"Weber's book reveals the many ambiguities of Teresa's narrative technique. Her analysis of these shifting tones and strategies is original and stimulating, and is a valuable contribution to the study of this extraordinary woman."--Colin P. Thompson, The Times Literary Supplement
