She is considered to be one of the utmost important participants of the Reformation for her role in helping to define the Protestant family life and setting the attitude for clergy marriages. During her lifetime, she proved to be loyal, caring and passionate. She broke the social norm of the time by running a farm, pig market, as well as a brewery. Luther’s great admiration for her can be seen by the titles he gave her in numerous letters, for instance “the deeply learned lady”, “Doctress Katharina”, and “the morning star of Zulsdurf”.

I would like to learn how to manage and do taxes so I’m not required to pay someone else to do
