The First Blast of the Trumpet against the monstrous regiment of Women is John Knox's 1558 polemical tract. The Scottish reformer argues from Scripture and history that women should not hold governing authority. It is worth hearing as a window into Reformation-era political and religious controversy and early modern debates about gender and power.
