摘　　要：基于基督教原罪说以及当时厌女观念,贞女更加合乎基督教中理想女性形象。守贞和独身成为基督教女性虔诚的主要表现形式。这种信仰方式一直被延续和赞颂。宗教改革后,新教促使女性进入婚姻的要求逐渐取代独身崇拜的做法。然而宗教改革后的英国,却仍有一部分女性奉行宗教独身生活。她们中有延续基督教独身理念的传统;也有在接受新教理念的基础上,依然选择献身宗教的信仰方式。因此,她们因宗教原因成为了近代早期英国的独身女性群体。Based on the original sin theory of Christianity and misogyny of the time, virgins are more suitable for the ideal female image in Christianity. Chastity and celibacy became the main manifestation of Christian female piety. This way of believing has been perpetuated and praised.After the Reformation, Protestantism pushes women into marriage, which gradually replaces the practice of celibacy worship. However, after the Reformation, some women in England still pursue religious celibacy by following the tradition of Christian celibacy;some choose to devote themselves to religion by accepting Protestant ideals, which, therefore, Formes the single female group in the early modern English religion.
