Book Synopsis Ruling the Spirit by : Claire Taylor Jones
Book excerpt: In Ruling the Spirit, Claire Taylor Jones revises the narrative of women's involvement in the German Dominican order, arguing that Dominican women did not lose their piety and literacy in the fifteenth century as is commonly believed, but instead were encouraged to reframe their practice around the observance of the Divine Office.
