A small "SCSH Lending Library" label affixed to the half-title page with handwritten dates; not an institutional ex-library copy. Otherwise unmarked.The first English-language translation of Bodil Stenseth's 2019 Norwegian study Fru Muus' klage, this volume reconstructs the 1880s Minnesota lawsuit in which Oline Muus sued her husband, Norwegian-American Lutheran pastor Bernt Julius Muus, to recover her inheritance. The case became a flashpoint in Norwegian-American religious life: Oline's refusal to defer to her husband and her decision to take her grievance to the secular courts rather than the congregation drew condemnation from the Norwegian Synod, while the underlying questions of inheritance law and women's rights placed the case at the intersection of immigrant assimilation, church authority, and the changing legal status of married women in late nineteenth-century America. Stenseth contextualizes the dispute within the founding of Holden Church in Goodhue County, the politics of the various Lutheran conferences, and the broader social conditions of Norwegian immigrants in Minnesota. Edited and translated by Kari Lie Dorer with co-translator Torild Homstad.
