The quincentenary of Martin Luther’s memorable (Oct. 31, 1517) proclamation provides ample occasion to ponder on the role of women in the early (“pioneer”) stage of the Reformation, a topic rarely taken up in scholarly reflection. After a brief overview of some general problems connected with the genesis of the Reformation and reflection on its influence on the social position of women, attention is drawn to several prominent female protagonists of those times. First, the involvement of Argula von Grumbach, Katharina Zell and Ursula Weide as commentators in the service of the Reformation is analyzed in view of the limited time of their activity. Next the parenthetical writing of Duchess Elizabeth of Brunswick-Lüneburg is discussed, followed by a more detailed characterization of the somewhat mysterious figure of Elizabeth Cruciger of Pomerania – the first Protestant author of religious hymns. Then, going outside Germany – on the example of the lives of Jeanne de Jussie and Marie Dentière the author recounts the introduction of the Reformation in Geneva. The article concludes with a presentation of the role of Anna Bjins as a defendress of Catholicism in the Netherlands.
