- Synopsis
- "Radical Spirits" is a landmark in the history of women's political activism and in the history of women and religion in America. Ann Braude proposes that the engagement of women in the Spiritualist movement not only provided a religious alternative to male-dominated mainstream religions, but also gave women a social and political voice. For some women, Spiritualism and the early women's rights movement went hand in hand. While feminist historians continue to view world religion as the enemy of women's emancipation, historians of religion see signs of feminism in women's religious activities.
