Women in Spiritualism

Women in Spiritualism played a pivotal role, particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when the movement emerged in the United States and Europe. Many prominent mediums, such as the Fox sisters and Annie Besant, were women who used their abilities to communicate with spirits, challenging societal norms and advocating for women's rights. Spiritualism offered women a platform for leadership and expression in a male-dominated society, providing them with new roles and opportunities in religious and social contexts. This movement not only shaped spiritual practices but also contributed to the broader conversation about gender equality.
