The Middle Ages isn’t generally thought of as a period friendly to women at all, much less to powerful ones. Still, we’re all familiar with a handful of medieval and early modern women who had extraordinary influence: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Isabella of Castile, Elizabeth I of England.

Woolman’s ideals were informed by a literal reading of the Bible and the experience of growing up on a farm in New Jersey. He associated well-ordered, peaceful, pastoral landscapes with Eden and the Peaceable Kingdom that Isaiah foresaw as part of humanity’s future. The tensions and violence of slavery had no place in the world that Woolman hoped to see established.
