This is the story of a woman who was sharp-tongued, quick-witted, a woman who stood firm in her beliefs and convictions, against society and the King’s church, who was tortured to such a degree that she could not hold herself up against the burning pyre. A woman who said, in the face of torment and death: ‘I would rather die than break my faith’. This is the story of Anne Askew, an ardent reformer, a steadfast martyr, and a unique figure in the history of women’s education and involvement in religious debates.
