Book Description
John Knox's pamphlet is a controversial work that reflects his views on women in political office. In it, he argues that natural law and scripture support the idea that women are unfit for any political position. However, when faced with examples of women rulers in other countries, he changes his argument to biblical guidelines for choosing an Israelite ruler being part of moral law. Knox also tries to argue that female animals are always smaller and subservient to males, which is now known to be untrue. In reality, outside of this book, Knox was calling for the overthrow of Mary I of England's rule, indicating that his real problem was with her specifically, rather than female rulers in general. Later, he ran into troubles with Elizabeth I as the pamphlet was published during the time that she reigned.

Book Description
A passage from the book... Of these, the last--also of least account at this moment, being in confinement--was the only hope of the Reformers. The other four, largely directing the affairs of three kingdoms, were steadfastly hostile to the new faith. Truly, the odds were heavy against it. Who could have anticipated that within three years of the writing of this book both MARY TUDOR and MARY DE LORRAINE would have passed away; that KNOX himself would have been in Scotland carrying on the Reformation; and that ELIZABETH would have commenced her marvellous reign. So vast a change in the political world was quite beyond all reasonable foresight.Meanwhile there was only present to the vision and heart of the Reformer as he gazed seaward, from Dieppe, but the unceasing blaze of, the martyr fires spreading from Smithfield all over England. Month after month this horrid work was deliberately carried on and was increasing in intensity.
