The Woman of To-Morrow in Religion. First edition, scarce, inscribed by the author on the front cover, "With Mrs Re-Bartlett's Compliments …". The author proposes that, in the 20th century, women will have a role to play in restoring Christianity to its true spiritual values, which will help to overcome divisions between Christian denominations. Lucy Re-Bartlett (1876-1922) was a "writer of notable intellectual power" and "a passionate believer in the women's cause" (The Common Cause, p. 119). In addition to her writing, she was a popular public speaker. This is the published version of one of four speeches she gave in the summer of 1918 addressing "The Woman of To-Morrow". We have traced just one copy institutionally, held at the University of Birmingham. Provenance: from the collection of the suffrage historian Elizabeth Crawford.
