Anne Askew


Wow. Now this was an interesting read. I had never heard of her until this class. I found it amazing how she stood up for her beliefs which ultimitely led to her being burned at the stake. It's amazing how someone can commit to something that strongly that even being tortured and the thought of a painful death still doesn't detere them from their faith. Very deep. This was somewhat similar to waht I've been studing in another class about Danton during the French Revolution and how he and his collegues ended up being beheaded for their views on the politics of this time. It really shows you how much things have improved since then. Incredible.

Anne Askew's gender, and her religious beliefs, may be two different things. Or, they may be very closely connected; I hope we can touch on the question in class.
