Horace Bushnell on Women in Nineteenth-Century America scrutinizes Bushnell's vision of a Christian America based on the organic unity of family, church, and nation. A Christian America was, for Bushnell, a nation that endorsed basic Christian beliefs. He believed the institutions of family, church, and nation to be the cornerstones in forming, maintaining, and expanding a Christian America. Bushnell thought his vision of a Christian America could be realized through emphasizing the importance of men's "government" of women and women's "subordination" to men. His complex views about women ranged from patriarchal and hierarchical to egalitarian and nurturing.
Michiyo Morita is Associate Professor at the General Research Institute, Seigakuin University, Ageo, Japan. A Horace Bushnell scholar, Professor Morita holds a doctorate in American Religion and Culture from Drew University.
