Recenzii
Johnson's focus is on women's national leadership in the New Christian Right... to bring the work of these conservative women into the spotlight they deserve, recognizing the significant role they have played in reshaping evangelicalism and securing religious right successes.
This Is Our Message will be an excellent resource for teachers. I personally utilized it in a course with advanced undergraduates, and the book's themes catalyzed an invigorating class discussion.
This Is Our Message is a captivating account of the Christian Right's women leaders in the movement's nascent years.... In this meticulously researched and remarkably well-written monograph, accessible to undergraduates as well as seasoned scholars, Johnson pushes us to ask who really counts in defining "women's issues" and to reconsider our previous answers. If we are attentive to Johnson's message, then we might also better understand the apparent paradoxes of today's political landscape
Johnson succeeds in putting these women into the larger context of their times and in demonstrating the power and importance of women more generally within the conservative movement. Without them, the movement would not have been, and would not be today, as significant as it remains. Moreover, and even more impressively, Johnson continually emphasizes the importance of understanding the nuances of her subjects' beliefs and convictions.
A well-documented, accessibly written study of major players among religious right women including Marabel Morgan, Anita Bryant, Sarah Palin, and others. Their role in the political shifts and the success of conservative movements is not trivial. Knowing more about them illuminates the complexities and sometime contradictory messages of their movement.
Through exploring the careers and writings of several of these key women, Johnson shows that their presence as national leaders was critical to the success of this movement.
Johnson's work is notable for its deft execution, thorough research, and admirably clear prose ... This Is Our Message elegantly corrects a historiography much in need of historical revision and analytical recalibration, thereby charting a new and exciting course of research in the study of American religions
Emily Johnson has written a masterful history of evangelical women in the modern conservative movement. With absorbing biography, she examines the careers and personal lives of five iconic women, showing how they negotiated the delicate balance between traditional feminine submission and the duty to assert these Christian values in an authoritative and public way. This is Our Message is essential for understanding the growth of women's influence in the Republican Party and white women's strong support for Donald Trump in 2016.
The paradox of women in high positions of influence and leadership urging other women to conform to traditional domestic roles has long puzzled observers outside of the conservative religious fold. This is Our Message convincingly explains how such women as Marabel Morgan, Anita Bryant, Beverly LaHaye, Tammy Faye Bakker, Sarah Palin, and Michele Bachmann thought about themselves as wives, mothers, and obedient daughters of God, and how they helped persuade countless numbers of American Christians to take an activist political stance against feminism and women's rights. Emily Johnson has written a deeply researched, original, and subtly argued book that is essential for understanding the gender politics of the New Christian Right.
Emily Johnson's tightly argued, crisply written study of conservative women and the religious right guides readers out of the realm of grassroots activism-a well-studied site of female political influence-and onto the national stage, where charismatic and able leaders such as Marabel Morgan, Beverly LaHaye, Michele Bachmann, and Sarah Palin helped construct sprawling institutional structures, media empires, and political lobbies through which they could shape America's gender politics, and ultimately modern America itself. This is a timely and important study of our recent-and current-political moment.
