Elizabeth Warren (b. 1617, fl. 1646–49), was a religious pamphleteer of the English Civil War period, known only by three pamphlets which she published in the mid- and late 1640s. She lived in Woodbridge, Suffolk, and was related to Rev. Thomas Warren, a Nonconformist divine. Her first tract was a defense of the ordained clergy against lay preachers, The Old and Good Way Vindicated (1645 and 1646, two editions), and in 1647 she issued a longer work entitled Spiritual Thrift with a more meditative tone. Albeit very little is known about her life, her work shows that Warren was a well-educated woman versed in Latin and the classics. Her third work, A Warning-Peece from Heaven against the Sins of the Times (1649), regretted the breakdown of authority in the home, church, and state. Unlike most of the women pamphleteers of the 1640s, Warren accepted a subordinate role for women in both earthly and spiritual matters. However, she showed assurance in her political stance: Warren was critical of the abuses of her time, specifically the political economy and the difficulties women faced when writing.
