John Knox's pamphlet is a controversial work that reflects his views on women in political office. In it, he argues that natural law and scripture support the idea that women are unfit for any political position. However, when faced with examples of women rulers in other countries, he changes his argument to biblical guidelines for choosing an Israelite ruler being part of moral law. Knox also tries to argue that female animals are always smaller and subservient to males, which is now known to be untrue. In reality, outside of this book, Knox was calling for the overthrow of Mary I of England's rule, indicating that his real problem was with her specifically, rather than female rulers in general. Later, he ran into troubles with Elizabeth I as the pamphlet was published during the time that she reigned.

This is the most comprehensive biography of John Knox since Hume Brown's major study, published more than seventy years ago. The personality of Knox has alternately fascinated and appalled his posterity. The aristocratic eighteenth century condemned him; the Puritanical and radical nineteenth century admired him. Mr. Ridley's twentieth-century view is that Knox, despite his intolerance and the tyranny of his Church Sessions, was a great contributor to the struggle for human freedom. One can appreciate the tribute that was paid to him, ten years after his death, by his English Puritan follower, John Field. "What a heroical and bold spirit he was!" [Book jacket].
