<br/><br/> Although women's participation helped the Methodist church to become the United States' largest denomination by the mid-nineteenth century, women's official roles diminished during that time. In Beyond the Pulpit, Lisa Shaver examines Methodist periodicals as a rhetorical space to which women turned to find, and make, self-meaning.
