The clairvoyance of the Fox sisters from upstate New York inspired some of the era's best-known female suffrage activists and set off an international seÌance craze. Emma Hardinge Britten left behind a career on Broadway for the life of a "trance lecturer," whose oration on the death of Abraham Lincoln was celebrated by tens of thousands. The meteoric rise of Victoria Woodhull, born into poverty in Ohio, took her from childhood medium to Wall Street broker to America's first female presidential candidate. And Georgina Weldon, whose interest in spiritualism nearly saw her confined to an asylum, went on to become a favorite of the press and a successful campaigner against Britain's archaic lunacy laws. These extraordinary tales illuminate a radical history of female influence that has been -- until now -- confined to the dark.-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women mediums $v Biography. 650 0 $a Spiritualism $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Women $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Feminism $x History $y 19th century. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 13 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626011027.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022827.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909065108.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118022444.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20211001010620.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20210729011923.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210723014612.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064644.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210702015546.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20210702010237.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210602012646.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210602012313.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210525011013.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8817FD8ABD1E11EB9ECD01434AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
