"Braude has discovered a crucial link between the early feminists and the spiritualists who so captured the American imagination." — Los Angeles Times
In Radical Spirits , Ann Braude contends that the early women's rights movement and Spiritualism went hand in hand. Her book makes a convincing argument for the importance of religion in the study of American women's history.
In this new edition, Braude discusses the impact of the book on the scholarship of the last decade and assesses the place of religion in interpretations of women's history in general and the women's rights movement in particular. A review of current scholarship and suggestions for further reading make it even more useful for contemporary teachers and students.
"It would be hard to imagine a book that more insightfully combined gender, social, and religious history together more perfectly than Radical Spirits . Braude still speaks powerfully to unique issues of women's creativity—spiritual as well as political—in a superb account of the controversial nineteenth-century Spiritualist movement." —Jon Butler, Howard R. Lamar Professor Emeritus of American Studies, History, and Religious Studies at Yale University
"Continually rewarding." — The New York Times Book Review
"A fascinating, well-researched, and scholarly work on a peripheral aspect of the rise of the American feminist movement." — Library Journal
"A vitally important book . . . [that] has . . . influenced a generation of young scholars." —Marie Griffith, associate director of the Center for the Study of Religion, Princeton University
"An insightful book and a delightful read." — Journal of American History
