Banquet At Delmonico’s : How Evolution Conquered Gilded Age America

Attribution
Barry Werth
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Random House, 2009
Description
As this justification took root as a social, economic, and ethical doctrine, Spencer won numerous influential American disciples and allies, including industrialist Andrew Carnegie, clergyman Henry Ward Beecher, and political reformer Carl Schurz. In late 1882, most of the main figures who brought about and popularized these developments gathered at Delmonico?s, New York?s most venerable restaurant, in an exclusive farewell dinner to honor Spencer and to toast the social applications of the theory of evolution.

Ungodly Women : Gender And The First Wave Of American Fundamentalism

Attribution
Betty A. DeBerg
Publication Details
Book, Fortress Press, 1990
Description
Since the rise of the Religious Right in the 1980s, analysis of American fundamentalism has neglected a large body of literature about gender roles and social conventions. Unlike other interpreters who have seen the contemporary Religious Right’s concerns over feminism, abortion, and the breakdown of the family as recent developments, DeBerg convincingly argues that these concerns were central in the “first wave of American fundamentalism.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
