- Description
- Pastor and rape survivor Ruth Everhart shines a light on the prevalence of sexual abuse and misconduct within Protestant Christian faith communities in the United States. Victims are routinely ignored by fellow Christians who deny their accounts and fail to bring accountability to the perpetrators. All too often, churches have been complicit in protecting abusers, reinforcing patriarchal power dynamics, and creating cultures of secrecy, shame, and silence. .The author discloses stories of how she and others have experienced assault in church settings, highlighting the damage done to individuals, families, and communities. Combined with scriptural narratives like those of Tamar and Bathsheba and the accounts of Jesus' interactions with women. With a call for action to churches to embrace the reckoning of the #MeToo movement before gender equality will be achieved.

- Description
- The author offers a new look at women's involvement in the mission movement, with a focus on the antebellum era. Most scholars have argued that the emergence of women as a dominant force in American Protestant missions in the late nineteenth century was an outgrowth of nascent feminist activism in the various denominations. This book suggests that the feminization of the later mission movement actually stemmed in large part from images of the 'degraded Oriental woman' that popular evangelical literature had been circulating since the 1790s and that the increasing focus on and involvement of women was supported by male denominational leaders as an important strategy for reaching the world with the Christian gospel. In the late eighteenth through the early nineteenth centuries, popular evangelical literature began circulating descriptions of women of the 'Orient' designed to illustrate the need of those women for the Christian gospel. Such powerful and widely disseminated images demonstrated to young American women their relatively privileged position in society and, throughout the nineteenth century, led many to support the cause of missions with their money and sometimes their lives. A belief in the desperate need of 'Oriental' women for salvation and social uplift was largely responsible for feminizing the American Protestant foreign mission movement

- Description
- Sabine Kittel wrote a book on Jewish women who survived the women´s concentrationcamp of Ravensbrück, and who, after World War II, continued living with their traumas, many of them after emigrating to the United Stated, as so called ´displaced persons´. The women were originally from Poland, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands and Tsechoslovakia. They were interviewed at the age of 66-87 years. The introductory chapters are on the methodology of the research. Subsequent chapters are on living and surviving under the regime of the camp, the reorientation on life after the war, and life in the multi-ethnic society of present day America. Central questions in the book are: How could the women return to normality, after the total loss of identity. What were the influences on individual life histories of factors such as: solidarity among women, their national origins, the religious community, the presentation of the 'Holocaust' in American popular culture.

- Description
- This publication accompanies an exhibition commemorating the 150th anniversary of Vassar College (January till June 2011). Drawing on archival materials and featuring a multi-media display, the exhibition focuses on the college's earliest years, though several themes—such as the college's mission, the curriculum and social issues—are followed through to the present. The common thread is Vassar College's interaction with the idea of liberal education. Contains a chapter about women's rights, women's education and the founding of Vassar College: 'To Unfold Such Powers': Nineteenth-Century American Women's Rights, Women's Education, and the Founding of Vassar College, written by Rebecca Edwards.
