The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women
- The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women
"The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women" is a work by the Scottish Reformer John Knox, published in 1558.
The word "regiment" is used here meaning "government" or "regime".
The book was written anonymously from Geneva, Switzerland, against the female sovereigns of his day, particularly Mary I of Scotland and Mary I of England. Knox, a staunch Protestant Reformer, opposed the Roman Catholic queens on religious grounds, and using them as mere examples, went on to argue the following about women, with regard to the specific role of bearing authority (but not about women in all roles or respects):
His diatribe against female rulers backfired on him when Elizabeth I of England succeeded her half-sister Mary on the throne of the Kingdom of England: Elizabeth was a supporter of the Protestant cause, but took offence at Knox's words about female sovereigns. Her opposition to him personally became an obstacle to Knox's direct involvement with the Protestant cause in England after 1559.
