The religions examined are Shakerism, Pentecostalism, Spiritualism, Christian Science, the Theosophical movement, New Thought, Unity, Hindu, and Buddhist groups, African-American Spiritual churches in New Orleans, the feminist spirituality movement, the Women-Church movement among Roman Catholic women, and Mormonism.''A valuable resource for students of American religious history and women's studies.''--Amanda Porterfield, author of Female Piety in Puritan New England: The Emergence of Religious Humanism
