5.0 out of 5 starsFascinating Biography and History
By K. Vestal on February 25, 2009
Format: Paperback
Dr. Mobley proves himself the foremost expert on the life of a most fascinating woman and the era in which she lived. His scholarly yet sensitive style captivates the reader with a story that educates, challenges, and inspires.

Helen Barrett Montgomery (1861-1934), raised in an Evangelical Christian Victorian family, never left those roots. Yet, in a time before women were even allowed to vote, she shaped her world, and ours.

From page 2: "She was a social reformer and the first woman elected to the school board in Rochester, NY. She was licensed to preach by Lake Avenue Baptist Church. She was the first woman elected president of the Northern Baptist Convention, and she is still the only Baptist woman to publish an original English translation of the New Testament. She was all of these and more, and yet she was also a Victorian wife and mother who would not accept speaking engagements that took her away from home until she had her husband's permission."

A window into a life that did not fit neatly into either of the female expectations of her day (one of traditional domesticity, the other of college-educated career life), but somehow combined the two, creating a new kind of 20th century woman.

This book provides an honest and thorough look at Helen Barrett Montgomery's life, without interpretative bias, and with a style and depth that naturally plunges the reader into a desire to analyze and synthesize, and a hunger to know more. A 5-star read.

5.0 out of 5 starsDeserves a spot in any feminist biography collection
By Midwest Book Review on June 13, 2009
Format: Paperback
One person does not lead a revolution alone. "Helen Barrett Montgomery: The Global Mission of Domestic Feminism" is the biography of one of the major late nineteenth/early twentieth century feminists who helped bring women the vote and (gradually) be considered on equal footing to their male counterparts. A woman of faith, she did much to help her church on top of her social progress crusades. "Helen Barrett Montgomery" deserves a spot in any feminist biography collection.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent survey of an essential church and social reformer
By Justin Gottuso on July 17, 2012
Format: Paperback
The exquisite writing of Kendal P. Mobley accurately chronicled the social, political and spiritual transformation of Helen Barrett Montgomery by setting her in her historical context of the early twentieth century Progressive Era. Mobley revealed the inherent and ongoing tension throughout Montgomery's life of holding classical Victorian values of domestic womanhood, with the progressive understandings of woman's equality and need to be active in civil society. Instead of calling for a revolution of society, Montgomery was a reformer who saw the need to preserve the best of the old yet embrace the necessity of the new, while staying committed to her core Christian values. Kendal P. Mobley's greatest contribution is revealing how Montgomery is a great example of the ability to influence tremendous change through simplicity, honor and service to others.
