Lori D. Ginzberg examines the intersection of gender, class, and moral authority in nineteenth-century America through the lens of women's charitable activities. By analyzing the transition from private benevolence to organized public reform, the text reveals how Protestant women navigated the shifting political landscape of the antebellum era to assert their influence in the public sphere.
