For readers interested in women's history and faith

Highlights the struggles of women preachers in the past

You will gain insight into their courageous journeys

This book explores the inspiring lives of female itinerant evangelists in 19th-century America.

This book is a study of seven autobiographies by women who defied the domestic ideology of nineteenth-century America by serving as itinerant preachers. Literally and culturally homeless, all of them used their autobiographies to construct, from an array of materials, plausible identities as women and Christians in an age that found them hard to understand.
