Piecing together evidence from a wide range of sources, including religious magazines and newspapers, clergymen's autobiographies, church records, and female preachers' own memoirs and letters, she examines the lives of more than a hundred female preachers who crisscrossed the country between 1740 and 1845." "Focusing on the lives of these forgotten women, Brekus explores the changing meaning of femininity after the American Revolution, the growth of religious freedom, the conservatism of evangelical revivals, the upheaval wrought by the market revolution, the popularity of apocalyptic beliefs, and the fragility of historical memory."--Jacket 410 0$aGender & American culture. 517 3 $aStrangers and pilgrims 606 $aPreaching$zUnited States$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPreaching$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSermons, American$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen in Christianity$zUnited States$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aWomen in Christianity$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$y18th century 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$y19th century 615 0$aPreaching$xHistory 615 0$aPreaching$xHistory 615 0$aSermons, American$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen in Christianity$xHistory 615 0$aWomen in Christianity$xHistory 676 $a251/.0082/0973 700 $aBrekus$b Catherine A$01618506 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807283703321 996 $aStrangers & pilgrims$94092750 997 $aUNINA
