"The first sound of the trumpet against the monstrous power of women" is a work written by the Scottish reformer John Knox in 1558. In the book, the author expresses his criticism of women's government, emphasizing that women cannot perform political functions and therefore are not suitable for managing society. The book became one of the first works that expressed such resonant views and caused heated discussions in the society of its time. It drew attention to the problem of gender stereotypes and the role of women in society, and also served as a stimulus for further discussions about gender equality. "The first sound of the trumpet against the monstrous power of women" is an important historical testimony and a key work in the context of the development of feminist thoughts in Europe.
