- Title
Religion and Piety in the Journal of Phebe Orvis.
- Authors
Ouellette, Susan M.
- Abstract
The article explores early 19th-century female piety and the social conditions of the Second Great Awakening through examination of the journal of the Vermont Quaker Phebe Orvis. Details are given describing two major periods of her life, her career as a single evangelist in Vermont and her married life and struggles with her husband in New York. Discussion is offered highlighting her accounts of daily life and their religious overtones, but particular attention is given to the conflict between her Baptist husband and her own Quaker beliefs and sensibilities.
