Review: And Your Daughters Shall Prophesy: Stories from the Byways of American Women and Religion

And Your Daughters Shall Prophesy: Stories from the Byways of American Women and Religion by Adrian Shirk
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this jumble of family recollection and travelogues musing about wonderfully blunt proto-feminist Sojourner Truth, tarot reading, a connection with Jitterbug Perfume and author Tom Robbins as well as the voodoo jambalaya of Marie Laveau's NOLA, Christ Scientists, Flannery O'Connor, the Fox sisters and modern Spiritualism's Lily Dale abode, the outlandish Aimee Semple McPherson and her proto-superchurch Foursquare Church. and much more.... A great stew of ecstatic visions and women of bold imagination.
