American Feminism and the Birth of New Age Spirituality

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the intersection of feminism and spirituality, this book explores the origins of the New Age movement during the Gilded Age, particularly through the lens of 'New Thought.' It examines how feminist ideals were integrated into emerging liberal cultures of the late nineteenth century and critically assesses the impact of the New Age movement on women's rights and democratic progress, both historically and in contemporary contexts.
