"Women and Twentieth-Century Protestantism," edited by Calvin professor of
history Margaret Lamberts Bendroth and Tufts professor of English Virginia
Lieson Brereton, has been selected by CHOICE (the journal of academic
librarians) as one of its Outstanding Books of the Year, a distinction earned by
about five percent of all the scholarly books published each year.
The book features a variety of essays on women and religion in the 20th
century, everything from the success of the Women's Missionary Union of the
Southern Baptist Convention to the enormous appeal to women and girls of James
Dobson's Focus on the Family to Chinese immigrant women's embrace of the
relative freedom offered by Protestant religion.
