Catharine de Bora: Social and Domestic Scenes in the Home of Luther

"Catharine de Bora: Social and Domestic Scenes in the Home of Luther" by John G. Morris is a book from the 1800s that tells the story of Katharina von Bora, who married Martin Luther during the Reformation. The story begins by describing how the Catholic Church forced priests to stay single, and how Luther stood against that rule. Katharina escapes from her convent, and Luther supports her and the other escaped nuns. With the nuns now in Wittenberg, Luther shows his kindness and pushes for women to be able to marry, reflecting how life was changing during this time, and setting the stage to look even closer at their lives.
