Title: The Westminster handbook to women in American religious history
Description: Readers can find in this book multiple women in a variety of religious traditions and beginning sources, primary and secondary, for further research. But this handbook offers more than that. It includes women who until recently have been lost to memory even within their own communities and makes it impossible to ignore the prodigious extent to which women participated creatively in their traditions. Implicitly it argues the case that American religious history will be written with sufficient depth and sophistication only if and when it includes thoroughly integrated attention to women.  - Mary Farrell Bednarowski, Emerita Professor of Religious Studies, United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cites, on back cover.
