Katharine von Bora: Dr. Martin Luther's Wife

Armin Stein (1840 - 1929)
Translated by Emma A. Endlich (1846 - 1927)

This is a fictionalized biography of the wife of the reformer Dr. Martin Luther. In the author's words, he hopes that "people may learn to know the wife of its greatest man,—not by name only, but as her husband's 'helpmeet,' in the truest sense of the word, as a pattern of domestic virtue, and as a pearl among women."
