Gender and the First Wave of American Fundamentalism

Évaluation du livre

En savoir plus sur le livre

Since the rise of the Religious Right in the 1980s, analysis of American fundamentalism has neglected a large body of literature about gender roles and social conventions. In 1990, Betty A. DeBerg's groundbreaking study filled that important gap, analyzing the roots and character of fundamentalism in light of rapid changes and severe disruptions in gender-role ideology and actual social behavior in America between 1880 and 1930. Since then, Ungodly Women: Gender and the First Wave of American Fundamentalism has remained the standard source on the subject. Unlike other interpreters who have seen the contemporary Religious Right's concerns over feminism, abortion, and the breakdown of the family as recent developments, DeBerg convincingly argues that these concerns were central in the "first wave of American fundamentalism." Ungodly Women is essential reading for all interested in Women's History, Fundamentalism, and American Religion.
