Women, Gender and Religious Cultures in Britain, 1800-1940: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Women, Gender and Religious Cultures in Britain, 1800-1940" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This volume is the first comprehensive overview of women, gender and religious change in modern Britain spanning from the evangelical revival of the early 1800s to interwar debates over womens roles and ministry.

This collection of pieces by key scholars combines cross-disciplinary insights from history, gender studies, theology, literature, religious studies, sexuality and postcolonial studies. The book takes a thematic approach, providing students and scholars with a clear and comparative examination of ten significant areas of cultural activity that both shaped, and were shaped by womens religious beliefs and practices: family life, literary and theological discourses, philanthropic networks, sisterhoods and deaconess institutions, revivals and preaching ministry, missionary organisations, national and transnational political reform networks, sexual ideas and practices, feminist communities, and alternative spiritual traditions. Together, the volume challenges widely-held truisms about the increasingly private and domesticated nature of faith, the feminisation of religion and the relationship between secularisation and modern life.

Including case studies, further reading lists, and a survey of the existing scholarship, and with a British rather than Anglo-centric approach, this is an ideal book for anyone interested in womens religious experiences across the nineteeth and twentieth centuries.

Women, Gender and Religious Cultures in Britain, 18001940
This volume is the first comprehensive overview of women, gender and religious change in modern Britain spanning from the evangelical revival of the early 1800s to interwar debates over womens roles and ministry.
This collection of pieces by key scholars combines cross-disciplinary insights from history, gender studies, theology, literature, religious studies, sexuality and postcolonial studies. The book takes a thematic approach, providing students and scholars with a clear, comprehensive and comparative examination of ten significant areas of cultural activity that both shaped, and were shaped by, womens religious beliefs and practices: family life, literary and theological discourses, philanthropic networks, sisterhoods and deaconess institutions, revivals and preaching ministry, missionary organisations, national and transnational political reform networks, sexual ideas and practices, feminist communities, and alternative spiritual traditions. Chapters survey the existing scholarship and identify new research trajectories. They are framed by an introduction and afterword that reflect on the implications of the resurging interest in religion and spirituality for gender and womens history. Together, the volume challenges widely-held truisms about the increasingly private and domesticated nature of faith, the feminisation of religion and the relationship between secularisation and modern life.
Including case studies, further reading lists and with a British rather than Anglo-centric approach, this is an ideal book for anyone interested in womens religious experiences across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Notes on contributors
Jacqueline deVries (MA, PhD University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign) is Associate Professor of History and Womens Studies at Augsburg College in Minneapolis where she teaches modern European and comparative womens history. Her interest in the historical relationship between faith and feminism emerged while growing up in the conservative (Dutch) Christian Reformed Church during the second-wave feminist movement of the 1970s and 1980s. She first explored the historical relationships between religious ideas and feminist activism in her dissertation, and has since published a number of articles on the topic, including Transforming the Pulpit: Preaching and Prophecy in the British Womens Suffrage Movement, in Beverly Kienzle and Pamela Walker (eds) Women Preachers and Prophets through Two Millennia of Christianity (University of California Press, 1998); Rediscovering Christianity after the Postmodern Turn in Feminist Studies (2006); Challenging Traditions: Denominational Feminism in Britain, 191020 in Karen Offen (ed.) Globalizing Feminisms, 17891945 (Routledge, 2009), and a popular history Living Faith, co-authored with Cheri Register, which chronicles the diverse stories of Presbyterians in one influential congregation in the American Midwest (2007).
Joy Dixon is an associate professor of history at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Her first book, Divine Feminine: Theosophy and Feminism in England (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001), explored the relationships between feminism and esoteric religions in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her current project, tentatively titled Sexual Heresies: Religion, Science, and Sexuality in Britain, 18701930, explores the impact of the new sciences of sexuality and new understandings of sexual identity on religion and religious experience, from liberal modernism to the new orthodoxies of conservative Catholicism and evangelicalism. She is also writing a textbook Sexuality in Modern Europe which is an introduction to the history of sexuality in Europe from the mid-eighteenth to the late twentieth centuries. It traces the rise (and fall) of sexual identity as both a historical phenomenon and a theoretical construct and will be published by the University of Toronto Press.
Carmen M. Mangion (MA, PhD London) is Honorary Research Fellow at Birkbeck College, University of London. Her research interests centre on the social and cultural history of nineteenth-century Britain, concentrating on the intersections of gender, religion and medical care. She has published several journal articles, chapters and book reviews on women, religion and medical care in nineteenth-century England and Wales and her book
