Beschreibungen
As a Christian--as a college student--do you want to be a feminist? Why would anybody want to be a feminist? And what, if anything, have Christians done to advance women's rights? The answers lie in this book where the history of women preachers, the rise of the publishing industry, the creation of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century female seminaries and academies, and the work of feminist theologians is explored. This book introduces the Christian college student to a coherent story of First, Second, and Third Wave Feminism and how these interlocking histories overlap with Christian faith and practice. Designed for the student who has little or no knowledge of feminist histories, theories, and practices, this book offers timelines, reading lists, and glossaries to help orient the student in a field of study often filled with irony and contradictions. Furthermore, the influence of anti-feminists and the impact of visual culture tell a story of how power is made and how it is challenged. Throughout this book, students are invited to consider their relationship with feminism and to critically reflect on a position that holds true to their faith as they are experiencing it in the twenty-first century.

“Welch’s book is an excellent tool to support both the college instructor and the student. When teaching a literature class, I explore the influences of the time period to provide context for my students as they begin the readings. Welch’s book is an excellent research tool for me as an instructor to capture the context. From the student’s perspective, Welch’s book supports classroom learning and provides greater insight beyond what can be covered in the classroom, resulting in a well-rounded understanding not just of the literature but also of the political, social, and religious influences.”

<i>This Present Darkness: Meet Me on the Battlefield</i> is an exemplary title for this rich and storied history of feminism. Welch takes us through centuries and around the world with grace. It has certainly changed my lens, views, and thinking, and I’ve taken up the fight with Dr. Welch.”
