Description
Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest and most widespread voluntary organizations. Over three centuries, men and women have organized themselves under its name, creating a strong platform for social change and philanthropy.
This Very Short Introduction explores the inner workings of freemasonry, including rituals, symbols, and practices. Andreas Önnerfors examines how perceptions of freemasonry from the outside world have shaped its development, as well as the organization's struggles with issues of exclusion based on gender, race, and religion.
Onnérfors also sheds light on the often-overlooked history of female agency in Masonic and Para-Masonic orders. With its unique blend of historical analysis and insight into the inner workings of a complex organization, this book provides a fresh perspective on one of the world's most enduring and enigmatic institutions.
