The women's rights movement in 19th-century America was primarily interpreted as a secular movement. However, in The Book of the Preachers to the Suffragists, Beverly studies Zink Sawyer's life in the 19th century - Antoinette Brown Blackwell, Olympia Brown and Anna Howard Shaw - who saw their call to the Voting Movement as an extension of their call to the ministry, Parish to join and become leaders in the movement.
Zank Sawyer tells stories of their brave lives, quoting their speeches and writings, and looking for their struggles before and after the priesthood. By doing so, it convincingly demonstrates the vital importance of these leaders - through their religious discourse and their theological leadership - in shaping the movement as a whole, restoring its religious roots, and making a significant and even corrective contribution to American history..
