This book uses the stories of early modern women in the Mediterranean who left their birthplaces, families, and religions to reveal the complex space women of the period occupied socially and politically. In the narrow sense, the word "renegade" as used in the early modern Mediterranean referred to a Christian who had abandoned his or her religion to become a Muslim. With Renegade Women, Eric R Dursteler deftly redefines and broadens the term to include anyone who crossed the era's and region's religious, political, social, and gender boundaries. Drawing on archival research, he relates three tales of women whose lives afford great insight into both the specific experiences and condition of females in, and the broader cultural and societal practices and mores of, the early Mediterranean.

This is an interesting, albeit academic, book that was part of the required reading for a history class. This book is really only 120 pages; the last 100 pages is taken up by "notes" and the bibliography.

Renegade Women Gender Identity and Boundaries in the Early Modern Mediterranean eBook Eric R Dursteler Reviews

I found this book highly interesting and easy to read. The book explores different conversion stories and how women were not merely property, but active particpants in their lives. The book is well written and engaging.
Interesting but written in a pretty academic way.
