Katie Luther, First Lady of the Reformation: The Unconventional Life of Katharina von Bora

Katharina von Bora, wife of Martin Luther, was a modern woman in many ways. She was decisive, assertive, and determined—and unlike other noted Reformation women, her primary vocation wasn't related to ministry. Rather, she was a successful business woman with a boardinghouse the size of a Holiday Inn, a farmer, a home brewer, and a mother with a large family and nursing responsibilities.

In Katie Luther, First Lady Of The Reformation, Ruth Tucker travels back to Katharina's 16th-century village to unearth insights for today's wives and mothers who, like Katie, are carving out careers of their own. Tucker invites readers to meet the real, largely unknown Katie Luther who broke the mold and paved the way for today's women, wives, and mothers.
