In Silenced: The Forgotten Story of Progressive Era Free Methodist
Women, Christy Mesaros-Winckles delves into the gender debates
within the Free Methodist Church of North America during the
Progressive Era (1890-1920). This interdisciplinary work draws on
narrative research and gender studies to reconstruct the lives of
forgotten women who served as Free Methodist evangelists and
deacons, examining their writings and speeches to illustrate how
they promoted and defended their ministries. Mesaros-Winckles
argues that the history of Free Methodist women is a microcosm of
the struggle for recognition and acceptance faced by women across
numerous evangelical traditions, especially amidst rising
fundamentalism at the turn of the twentieth century. This book
provides an important contribution to the fields of American
history, theology, media studies, and gender studies, and will also
be of interest to rhetorical history and communication theory
scholars.
