Girl Evangelists in the Flapper Era

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The 1920s marked one of the greatest cultural shifts in American life, and the risqué flapper became the icon of the period. But there was a counter image of the feminine; the decade was also the golden age for girl evangelists who defended traditional morals and traditional Christian beliefs and attitudes.
