Frühe Neuzeit | Reformation
The Reformation in Everyday Life
Luther’s rebellion against the Church changes the world - in ways both great and small. For the Reformation encroaches massively into the daily lives of many. Predominantly the private lives of the clergy, of men and women alike, are turned upside down and restructured. The religious orders shall now become married couples and double standards transformed into a strict morality. Likewise the role of the “common” woman is to be redefined. Disputes on when and how this is exactly to occur are not only limited to men. Women, too, are deeply divided on the issue. This is especially reflected by two nuns, who fight for their rights and for self-determination, thereby pursuing two distinctly opposite goals: Katarina von Bora and Caritas Pirckheimer.
