| Abstract | The German-American Free Congregations, later known as Freethinker-Soceities, were gateways for women on their way to equality. In contrast to most other German-American societies of the time, Free Congregations felt the necessity for female participation and granted women equal access to all their resources. . . . This article explores the role of women in the German-American Free-thinker movement, demonstrating the principles of equality with regard to membership and examines why and how this was implemented. Sections include: Roots of the Freethinker-Movement in Germany, Principles of the Free Congregations, Women in Free Congregations and Freethinker Societies, and The Concept of Female Nourishment. |
