Each Mind a Kingdom: American Women, Sexual Purity, and the New Thought Movement, 1875-1920
I really benefited from reading this book as I aim to strengthen my lectures on the social purity movement, Progressives, and Victorian era gender history. This book is a staple for anyone who studies American gender/women's history. My favorite chapter was on neurasthenia and "American nervousness." She uses literature and medical studies as the bulk of her evidence, and I thoroughly enjoyed her approach. I appreciated how she weaved the suffragists, together with Social Gospel Christians & "liberal Protestants," with her chapter on neurasthenia, and then ending with the generations of Progressives and the rise of consumer culture in the early 1900s. I'm definitely assigning sections of this book to my students. Satter's writing is readable (a good balance between formal academic and conversational), energetic, and clear.
