"This briskly written study is packed with useful information on the history of nineteenth-century social reform in general, and the role of evangelical men and women in the formation of an articulate women's movement in particular."--Grant Wacker, The Christian Century (on the first edition) In Women Called to Witness, Nancy A. Hardesty locates the roots of American feminism in the evangelical revivals that emerged during the Second Great Awakening of the early nineteenth century. She thus challenges the conventional wisdom that any movement for women's rights is a secular one because religion is inherently oppressive toward women. First published in 1984 and now revised and updated, this book focuses particularly on the followers of Charles Grandison Finney, an evangelist whose revivals spread from upstate New York eastward to New England and westward to Ohio. The author shows that in Finney's brand of revivalism, personal and social salvation were inseparably linked, and thus the evangelical strategies used in spreading the Christian gospel were readily adapted to various social crusades, including temperance, abolition, and eventually suffrage. Hardesty shows that such leaders as Frances Willard, Sarah and Angelina Grimk#65533;, Lucy Stone, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton all had links to the Finneyite revivals. All were active in the various reforms the revivals spawned. In exploring these women's lives and their religious involvements, Hardesty demonstrates how bonds of sisterhood were forged and how those bonds nurtured the quest for equality in the home, the church, and society. The Author: Nancy A. Hardesty is associate professor of religion at Clemson University. She is a founder of the Evangelical and Ecumenical Women's Caucus.… (mer)

This is a chapter in the Women's movement that is little mentioned. The author shows how the revivalist and holiness movements of the nineteenth century motivated women to adopt a feminist ideology, quite different from the one in action today. These women worked for positive, moral changes in society, including antislavery, prohibition, and the woman's right to vote. Frances Willard, Phoebe Palmer, Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and others are discussed in this publication which includes the ministry of Charles Finney who helped to inspire women to be more active in church and society in general.
