Haykin gives a broad description of the lives of eight women of the 16th-18th C. describing their impact on church history. Perhaps it's a function of the age they lived in, but the word "remarkable" used in a description of the book, seemed like a stretch. Lauding someone for having a good friendship doesn't equate to an impressive impact on the growth and flourishing of the church. I would have liked a deeper exploration of each woman's life.
