The New Thought Movement was a popular late 19th century spiritual
movement led largely by and for women. Mary Baker Eddy's Christian
Science is one example of the range of these groups, which
advocated a belief in mind over matter and espoused women's
spiritual ability to purify the world. This work uncovers the
cultural implications of New Thought, embedding it in the
intellectual traditions of 19th-century America, and illuminating
its connections with the self-help and New Age enthusiasms of our
own fin-de-siecle. Betty Satter examines New Thought in all its
complexity, presenting along the way a captivating cast of
characters. She introduces the people, the institutions the texts,
and the ideas that comprised the New Thought Movement.
