Pushing Boundaries: Radical Women, Reform, and Religion in Progressive Era Lily Dale, New York Online
Spiritualism’s Place: Reformers, Seekers, and Seances in Lily Dale (Three Hills, 2024) reveals the role that the intentional community of Lily Dale, New York played within the history of Spiritualism, as well as within the development of the women's suffrage and temperance movements, and the world of New Age religion. As an intentional community devoted to Spiritualist beliefs and practices, Lily Dale brings together multiple strands in the social and religious history of New York and the United States over the past 150 years: feminism, social reform, utopianism, new religious movements, and cultural appropriation.
In this event, the authors of Spiritualism’s Place will discuss the intersections of women’s rights, indigenous activism, radical religions, Temperance, and cultural appropriation. As a nexus of Progressive-era change, Lily Dale is a fascinating case study, a place and moment in these histories.
