The article deals with the status of women in an evangelical community in Bohemia at the end of the 18th century. A letter correspondence between preachers and the Superintendent of the Lutheran Congregation in Prešpurk, Michael Institoris Mošovský, is used as the primary source for the research of this issue. As emerged from the research, women played a relatively important role in establishing new communities, as after the declaration of the Patent of Toleration, they did not hesitate to proudly proclaim their Lutheran faith and demonstrated rigid attitudes in this regard. As members of the congregation, they were often in close contact with the preachers, providing them with food and minor domestic help. Among other things, the preachers did not hesitate to entrust them with delivering letters or money. In general, it can be concluded that evangelical women living in Bohemia at the turn of the 18th and 19th century received greater respect from pastors than women living in Catholic environments. Furthermore, the evangelical women played an irreplaceable role in the building and stabilization of congregations at the beginning of the Toleration period.
