Women Who Shaped American Religion

A portrait of Christian Science Church founder Mary Baker Eddy hangs in the portrait gallery of the Longyear Museum in Brookline, Mass.

Adrian Shirk explores the overlooked power of spirituality in American women in her book And Your Daughters Shall Prophesy: Stories From the Byways of American Women and Religion. She weaves together her experiences with religion with stories of female astrologers, preachers and mediums who've redefined American religious traditions.

Adrian Shirk will appear with Beth Loffreda at Books Are Magic (225 Smith St., Brooklyn) on Aug. 22 at 7:30 p.m.
