Series Statement:
A cultural history of women in Christianity
Content:
"Women in Christianity in the Age of Empire (1800-1920) offers a broad view of the nineteenth century as a time of dramatic change, particularly for women, critiqued in the light of post-colonial theory. This edited volume includes important contributions from academics in the field. Overarching themes include the cult of domesticity, the changing impact of Christianity on views of women's nature in an age of scientific thinking, conflation of 'gospel' and 'civilisation' in global mission, and the exclusion of women from public spheres of life. We meet powerful saints, campaigners, and thinkers, who bring about genuine transformation in the lives of women, and in society. But we also recognise the long shadow of Empire in the world of the twenty-first century, critiquing Colonialism and Empire, and views that restricted women's lives. This engaging volume will be of key interest to students and scholars in Religion and Cultural Studies. Exploring the complexities of the nineteenth century it draws on a range of scholarship, including TV documentaries, film, online and more traditional academic resources"--
