Sommario/riassunto |
|
Ann Braude demonstrates the important role of women in American religious history. Although women have until recently been barred from public religious leadership, their support has sustained American religious organizations for centuries. Focusing on this crucial role, Braude examines the influence of women on religious history, and the influence of religion on American women. Back matter includes chronology, general further reading and an index. |
