DescriptionBlack Club Women, the Production of Religious Thought, and the Making of an Intellectual Movement, 1854-1933 examines the hundreds of black women in the club movement who frequently convened across the country to discuss the divine, human nature, the after-life, and other abstract religious ideas in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing on periodicals, eulogies, organizational reports, autobiographies, educational curricula, and early historical profiles of black women, this dissertation reveals the pluralistic nature of the black women’s club movement. As race leaders concerned with uplifting the black community, club members placed immense value on religious texts and cultures that both reflected and stood at variance with Protestantism. This dissertation maps their informal study of religious and philosophical thought to better understand their intellectual campaign for social reform, and appreciate how club women came to form a unique and radical intelligentsia in the black community.
