From Suffrage to #MeToo. This book tells the story of American Methodist women's efforts fight for women's rights, beginning with women's fight for suffrage through the Women's Christian Temperance Union and ending with the recent #MeToo movement. Each chapter documents particular Methodist women and provides the reader with a basic historic context of the time or situation at hand, then how Methodist women engaged and fought for women's equality or women's rights in American society and American Methodism. Being Methodist emboldened women to reach beyond the social confines of their time to find political avenues of social justice. This book tells the story of women engaged in mission as they sought to not simply fix social ills but to prevent them from happening again. They sought to address the systemic and hegemonic causes of oppression, stepping out of their place, they made space for others to thrive.
