“Spiritualism provided an important audience for radical reform and a source of affirmation for embattled radical leaders. In their zeal for “self-ownership,” Spiritualists advocated a broad woman’s rights program, combating every disability imposed by church, state, or social convention.”

“Lizzie Doten thought the platform superior to the pulpit not only because it admitted women but also because it was a better vehicle for spiritual enlightenment. In a trance lecture on the biblical text “It is a shame for women to speak in the church,” Doten exclaimed, “It is indeed a shame for woman to speak in the Church; and woman ought to be ashamed … of the church. Let woman come out from the church; and, when she comes out, the minister and all the congregation will go out with her.”31”
