Canton author and renowned expert on the Amish, Karen Johnson-Weiner, draws on her 35 years of fieldwork in Amish communities and her correspondence with Amish women to consider how religiously defined roles of Amish women have changed - in particular, looking at women’s lives and activities at different ages and in different communities.
Karen explores the relationship between changing patterns of social and economic interaction with mainstream society and family, community and church roles.
