I highly recommend reading up on the Anabaptist movement in England. It is much later, but women in Christianity in Europe have an amazing history of progress and revolution. The real history is less romantic, but often gives a far great appreciation. Plus its not an assumed or piecemail history, we have some recorded speeches and writings of women during the social upheaval of the English Civil War.
I highly recommend "The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic" by Rediker and Linebaugh. They go into some really neat figures. The chapter "A Blackymore Maide Named Francis" about a free black woman in England and the one bit of info we have of her and all that we can point to just from that for the amount of social change and regression in a short time, the birth of new movements and their attempts to reckon with their more radical immediate past by those who lived it, etc.
