Challenging the idea that change is only ever made by the loud, historian Margaret Bendroth interweaves vignettes of individual women who knew both the value of compromise and the cost of anger within a larger narrative that highlights the debts second-wave feminism owes to their efforts, even though these women would never have called themselves feminists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis lively historical account explains not just how feminism finally took root in American mainline churches, but why the change was so long in coming. Through its complex examination of the intersections of faith, gender, and anger at injustice, \u003cem\u003eGood and Mad \u003c\/em\u003ewill be invaluable to anyone interested in the history of gender and religion in America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Bendroth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197819753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197819753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Margaret Bendroth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47420072591615,"sku":"9780197819753","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14001720-f50a-48eb-877f-cdf902781eed.jpg?v=1761525605","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/good-and-mad-margaret-bendroth-9780197819753","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
