Gender and Pentecostal Revivalism Reviews

In the face of a lack of in-depth studies on these intriguing religious figures, the book aims to fill the gap in existing religious and gender studies scholarship, offering a theoretically-based, interdisciplinary study. ... a fascinating historical journey through the process of establishing legitimacy as a woman pastor in the early twentieth century. Therefore, this book represents a valuable contribution to the history of American revivalism, religion and gender studies and to the further research of female evangelists. (Aleksandra Djuric Milovanovic, Religion & Gender, Vol. 7 (2), 2017)
