Snoek. 330 $aFreemasonry is generally regarded a male phenomenon. Yet, both before 1723 and since 1744, women were initiated as well. This book is about the rituals, used for the initiation of women in the Adoption Lodges, since the middle of the 18th century. It describes their contents, roots and creation before reviewing and conceptualising their development in the past three centuries. It analyses the different families of rituals within the Adoption Rite, and gives an overview of specific developments, showing how the rituals were adapted to their changing contexts. Apart from its relevance for the history of Freemasonry in general and the Adoption Rite in particular, the book also writes a hitherto unknown chapter of women?s history. Of particular interest for the history of feminism is the chapter about the 20th century, which could only be written now that the documents concerning it, which had been moved to Moscow in 1945, had been returned in 2000. 410 0$aAries book series ;$v13. 606 $aWomen and freemasonry 606 $aFreemasonry$xRituals 615 0$aWomen and freemasonry. 615 0$aFreemasonry$xRituals. 676 $a366/.12082 686 $a8$2ssgn 700 $aSnoek$b Joannes Augustinus Maria$f1946-$01678991 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823945203321 996 $aInitiating women in Freemasonry$94046966 997 $aUNINA
