Blood and Fire: William and Catherine Booth and the Salvation Army
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Doubleday Books
- Publish date: 01/01/2000
Catherine, his wife, was in many ways even more exceptional. A chronic invalid and mother of eight children (within ten years), she inspired the social policy that was, and remains, an essential part of The Salvation Army's success. Catherine held ideas on social equality that were ahead of her time, and encouraged the Army to accept "women's ministry" and give female officers authority over men. Her campaign against child prostitution resulted in the age of consent being raised from thirteen to sixteen. And it was Catherine who, even while dying of cancer, urged William to develop his plans for clearing the Victorian slums. "Blood And Fire" is a brilliant account of a fascinating period of social history.
