Some wild visions : autobiographies by female itinerant evangelists in nineteenth-century America /

A study of seven autobiographies by women who defied the domestic ideology of 19th-century America by serving as itinerant preachers. Literally and culturally homeless, all of them used their autobiographies to construct plausible identities as women and Christians.
