Using a rich array of archival sources, Strasser explores ways in which an increasingly centralized Bavarian government in Munich inaugurated marriage and convent reforms and a civil religion based on the veneration of the Virgin Mary. Her carefully selected case studies show how church and state collaborated to produce a shared discourse and consistent policies proscribing extramarital sex, and excluding those without property from marriage. \" \u003c\/p\u003e--\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUlrike Strasser\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of History, Affiliate Faculty in Women's Studies, and Core Faculty in Religious Studies at the University of California, Irvine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrike Strasser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472032151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472032150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.22w x 0.69d","brand":"Ulrike Strasser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079112913151,"sku":"9780472032150","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85d766ac-1a27-4e26-925d-c396219fe3db.jpg?v=1685479369","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/state-of-virginity-ulrike-strasser-9780472032150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
