Many early Anabaptist martyrs were women. Who were they and why did they give their lives for what they believed? What can we learn from their stories of faithfulness? Carita Kiem explains who these women were and helps us to see what their lives were like. She discusses the sources that tell us what we know about their suffering, including the writings of those who were persecuting them.
