Women, Religion and Feminism in Britain, 1750-1900

by Sue Morgan

Book Overview

This collection of new essays examines the pervasive influence of religion upon the lives and strategies of late eighteenth and nineteenth century women activists. The book discusses a wide range of issues from female education to lesbian passion, and the authors demonstrate through detailed case-studies, women's skilful negotiation of the boundaries between personal religious beliefs, moral attitudes and social action.
