Nonconformists, Nonresistors, and Citizens: Women Living in the World
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Malinda Bricker (dates unknown), an Ontario resident, was a convert to the Mennonite Church in 1895.Though initially inclined to join the Methodists, she could not reconcile herself to their practice of infant baptism and the swearing of oaths, religious customs that were rejected by Mennonites.At the time, Mennonites of some subgroups were just beginning to enforce a dress code of 'plain' attire, including a head covering, cape dress, and bonnet, that was part of church membership.That Malinda was reluctant to adopt the dress code is evident in a letter to her mentor, Mennonite evangelist John S. Coffman.She wrote, "I made a cap for myself and I want to go to Berlin [Kitchener] tomorrow if I can to get a bonnet.If I would live to please men or even myself I would never join the Mennonite Church as you well know, but I want to live for Christ and for this reason I join this church. . . ." 1 After her baptism into the church, Malinda's plain dress set her apart from surrounding society and identified her clearly as a Mennonite, as it would for many other women in the decades that followed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
