A Looking Glass for Good Women
In his 1645 work A Looking Glass for Good Women, John Brinsley the Younger seeks to hold a mirror up to all of Eve’s daughters, and show them how Eve’s sin has affected them, corrupting their nature in a peculiarly different way to men. Brinsley explains how Eve was uniquely punished for her sin in hearkening to the serpent, and then persuading her husband to indulge in the same sin as she did. He also warns strongly against the heresy of women teaching in the church of God – and much more besides. Brinsley’s work is compassionate throughout, while piercingly accurate and immune to modern feminist sensibilities.
