Activism in the Name of God: Religion and Black Feminist Public Intellectuals from the Nineteenth Century to the Present, 2023

The volume includes essays on Jarena Lee, Theressa Hoover, Pauli Murray, and Alexis Pauline Gumbs, to name a few. These women’s commitment to the social, political, and economic well-being of oppressed people in the United States shaped their work in the public sphere, which took the form of preaching, writing, singing, marching, presiding over religious institutions, teaching, assuming leadership roles in the civil rights movement, and creating politically subversive print and digital art. This anthology offers readers exemplars with whose minds and spirits we can engage, from whose ideas we can learn, and upon whose social justice work we can build.
The volume joins a burgeoning chorus of texts that calls attention to the creativity of Black women who galvanized their readers, listeners, and fellow activists to seek justice for the oppressed. Pushing back on centuries of institutionalized injustices that have relegated Black women to the sidelines, the work of these Black feminist public intellectuals reflects both Christian gospel ethics and non-Christian religious traditions that celebrate the wholeness of Black people.

Significantly, Truth asserted her authority in public spaces as a black woman whose life was rooted in Afro-centric thought and tradition. The paper enhances scholarship in the field of theological-based rhetoric and extends the work of rhetorical scholars who have focused on her famous speech, " Aren't I a Woman. " The paper highlights Truth as a maverick feminist theologian who was instrumental in the abolitionist and women's rights movements.

Nan Johnson's Gender and Rhetorical Space in American Life, 1866-1910 and Carol Mattingly's Appropriatefing] Dress: Women's Rhetorical Style in Nineteenth-Century America enter a crucial and necessary conversation about women's rhetorical performances?how they have been elided from our historical consciousness and why they ought to be (re)discovered for the important cultural work they performed more than a century ago. Following closely on the heels of two major excavations of the rhetorical practices of nineteenth-century African American women?Shirley Wilson Logan's We Are Coming (1999) and Jacqueline Jones Royster's Traces of A Stream (2000)?Johnson's and Mattingly's texts complement and add to a growing body of scholarship that is still in its infancy. As a nineteenth-century rhetorical historian myself, I could not have been more pleased to see these two texts displayed with "NEW" stickers (in 2002) from Southern Illinois Press's series in Feminisms and Rhetorics, signifying that the stories of our past are continuing to be revealed, and that more histories like these will no doubt be forthcoming. At first glance, Johnson and Mattingly address what appear to be separate issues: gendered constructions of rhetorical performance and "parlor rhetorics," and nineteenth-century women's choice of dress as indicative of their recognition of woman's "appropriate" sphere of activity, respectively. It becomes clear early on, however, that the texts could have been written collaboratively. These two feminist rhetorical historians paint complementary portraits of nineteenth-century women speakers who were consistently illustrated as "good women speaking
