Exploring the intersection of feminism and spirituality, this work reveals how the New Age movement emerged during the Gilded Age, rooted in 'New Thought'. Tumber examines the integration of feminist ideals into liberal culture in the late nineteenth century and critically analyzes the movement's impact on women's rights and democratic renewal, questioning its relevance both historically and in contemporary society. Through a blend of research from various sources, the book offers a nuanced perspective on the evolution of these intertwined movements.
