What it is
A defence of clerical marriage after marrying a priest, letters of consolation to women whose husbands were exiled, a hymnbook, and a funeral sermon she preached herself.
Why it lasted
The most substantial body of published work by any woman of the Reformation, from a Strasbourg laywoman who called herself a church mother.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
