| Summary: | In recent decades there have been a number of studies that have examined the contribution of women in their struggles for social reform and equal rights. Some of these researches have focused more specifically on the roles played by nineteenth century revivalist women in both England and America. They have included the ways in which the growth of industrial society brought changes to religious life and thought that in turn resulted in women moving out of the home and domestic sphere into the mills and factories. In such environments they experienced first-hand the need for reform and were compelled to be more active and vocal in the world beyond their own revivalist gatherings. Other researches have scrutinised the ways in which revivalist women were led into anti-slavery, temperance and purily campaigns. This article aims to take a further step back and examines the inherent nature of revivalist religion and the ways in which it functioned as a vehicle for women in particular as they sought for social justice and equality. |
