Margaret Meuse Clay, who barely escaped a public whipping in the 1760s for preaching without a license; 'Old Elizabeth,' an exslave who courageously traveled to the South to preach against slavery in the early nineteenth century; Harriet Livermore, who spoke in front of Congress four times between 1827 and 1844these are just a few of the extraordinary women profiled in this, the first comprehensive history of female preaching in early America.Drawing on a wide range of sources, Catherine Brekus examines the lives of more than a hundred female preachersboth white and African Americanwho crisscrossed the country between 1740 and 1845. Outspoken, visionary, and sometimes contentious, these women stepped into the pulpit long before twentiethcentury battles over female ordination began. They were charismatic, popular preachers, who spoke to hundreds and even thousands of people at camp and revival meetings, and yet with but a few notable exceptionssuch as Sojourner Truththese women have essentially vanished from our history. Recovering their stories, Brekus shows, forces us to rethink many of our common assumptions about eighteenth and nineteenthcentury American culture.
