Séances attracted suffragists and scientists, skeptics and charlatans, giving women a voice in a society that often refused to hear them. But as Spiritualism surged, it also blurred the lines between faith, fraud, feminism, and financial opportunity.

From a challenge of faith to a means of transformation: Did God really say you couldn't eat from any tree in the garden?

God created males and females for a very specific purpose. His design isn't arbitrary or unimportant. It is very intentional and he wants women to discover, embrace, and delight in the beauty of his design.
