Viac o knihe

The history of female leadership in the American South highlights the challenges faced by women in a region known for its repression of empowerment, particularly within the Southern Baptist denomination. This group, significant in size yet resistant to women in leadership roles, has seen its female members play crucial, though often overlooked, roles in economic, political, and religious spheres. The seminar paper examines the experiences and contributions of Southern Baptist women throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, shedding light on their underrepresentation and impact in public life.
