This book covers new ground in its focus on the Anglican Church
congresses 1861-1938 as a public space in which the views of
notable women were widely disseminated. It celebrates the
contribution made by women to public life and discourse on
womanhood as platform speakers, and commemorates the presence of
the large numbers of women who joined congresses as audience
members. Original research draws on extensive primary sources from
official records, diaries and the press to capture women's views
and voices and to evoke congress as a communicative social space
and a window into topical affairs. Women and the Anglican Church
Congress 1861-1938 examines the roles of women in the Church and
reflects on how women with a sense of vocation negotiated
contemporary attitudes to their positions and spirituality. The
book also explores how women's secular aspirations towards
citizenship in the context of poverty, work, temperance, eugenics,
class and suffrage played out at congress.
