Ruling the Spirit

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.

In Ruling the Spirit, Claire Taylor Jones revizuieste naratiunea implicarii femeilor in ordinea dominicana germana, sustinand ca femeile dominicane nu si-au pierdut evlavia si alfabetizarea in secolul al XV-lea, asa cum se crede in mod obisnuit, ci au fost incurajate sa isi reformeze practica in jurul respectarea Oficiului Divin.
