This interdisciplinary work employs narrative research and gender studies to resurrect the lives of the forgotten women who served as Free Methodist evangelists and deacons, meticulously examining their writings and speeches to illustrate how they championed and safeguarded their ministries. Mesaros-Winckles makes a compelling argument that the history of Free Methodist women serves as a poignant microcosm of the struggle for recognition and acceptance faced by women across numerous evangelical traditions, particularly in the face of rising fundamentalism at the turn of the twentieth century. This seminal book makes a significant contribution to the fields of American history, theology, media studies, gender studies, rhetorical history, and communication theory. It will also captivate scholars with an interest in these interdisciplinary domains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781978714885\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christy Mesaros-Winckles","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44585393586426,"sku":"9781978714885","price":78.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1695401933078_book.jpg?v=1695582516","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/silenced-the-forgotten-story-of-progressive-era-free-methodist-women-9781978714885","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
