Hardcover, Women, Culture and Community: Religion and Reform in Galveston, 1880-1920

In this work, Elizabeth Turner addresses a central question in post-Reconstruction social history: why did middle-class women expand their activities from the private to the public sphere and begin, in the years just before World War I, an unprecedented activism? Using Galveston as a casestudy, Turner examines how a generally conservative, traditional environment could produce important women s organizations for Progressive reform. She concludes that the women of Galveston, though slow to respond to national movements, were stirred to action on behalf of their local community.
