이 논문은 19세기 영국의 기독교가 여성 작가의 글쓰기를 억압하는 기제로 작용하였다는 단순하고 환원적인 여성주의 비평의 문제점을 지적하고, 19세기 영국 기독교가 여성작가들과 갖는 양면적이고 다층적인 관계를 살펴보았다.
이를 위해 먼저 19세기 영국의 복음주의의 내용을 고찰하였으며, 이것이 영국 여성의 삶에 끼친 영향을 분석하였다. “분리 영역”과 “가정성 예찬”이 여성에게 미친 영향의 이중적 의미에 주목하였으며, 하나님과의 직접적인 관계를 중시한 것이 여성작가들에게 지닌 의의를 살펴보았고, 이 세상에서의 일을 중시하는 사고가 글쓰는 재능을 부여받은 여성 작가들에게 글쓰기를 거룩한 임무로 삼게 하였음을 고찰하였다.
또한 19세기 영국의 기독교가 여성작가들에게 계급 중심적이고 가부장적인 영국 사회를 신랄하게 비판하고 새로운 비전을 제시하는 글을 과감히 쓸 수 있도록 하는 데 기여하였음을 엘리자베스 개스컬의 『매리 바튼』과 샬롯 브론테의 『제인 에어』 분석을 통해 예증하였다.

Many feminists have reductively denounced Christianity for oppressing women"s desire to write, but in actuality women writers have had a complex and ambivalent relationship with Christianity. Christianity had a great revival in the nineteenth-century through the evangelical movement, and in turn affected every aspect of the English. The most powerful concepts which influenced women"s lives were the "separate spheres" and the "cult of domesticity." These concepts have been considered only as having subjugated women; however, they also endowed women with subversive potentiality by giving them moral authority. Evangelism emphasized direct relationship with God and individual understanding of the Bible, so women writers were able to have boldness to interpret God"s will and criticize patriarchal interpretations of it. Evangelism laid stress on vocation, and women with the ability to write believed that their gift was given by God and their vocation was to use it. Elizabeth Gaskell and Charlotte Bronte illustrate how their Christianity gave them the power to speak against their patriarchal and class-conscious society. When Gaskell wrote her first novel Mary Barton, she had various anxieties of female authorship. In spite of those anxieties, however, she wrote the industrial novel, a male genre, which covers politics, economy, history and theology. Her boldness in starting her career as a writer with such a book came from her faith that her ability of writing was God"s gift and her ministry was to use it for the weak and poor against economic and sexual exploitation. Bronte also had various anxieties when she wrote Jane Eyre after her first poetical work suffered failure and her first novel Professor was rejected by a publisher. However, she spoke against patriarchal Britain through Jane like the prophet Micaiah against Ahab. Though her subversive criticism was accused of being anti-Christian, she spoke against dominant ideology and social practices of patriarchal culture, basing on her own discernment between the creed of Christ and patriarchal appropriation of it. As is shown in these women writers, Christianity not only suppressed women writers" voice but also provided it with revolutionary potentiality by giving it spiritual authority in nineteenth-century England.
