Abstract
This book is about evangelical women in Belfast and about the relationship between religion and power. I am a woman and have been an evangelical for about 18 years. The main question asked in this book is whether evangelical women are imprisoned or empowered in their private and public lives as a result of their evangelical beliefs. Imprisonment may be defined as the fact or condition of confinement. To empower is to invest formally or legally with power, to authorise or licence.
