New York: Basic Books, ISBN In , when Margaret Sanger took up the cause of feminism and birth control in her monthly newspaper, The Woman Rebel, she was shocked to discover that many of her supporters were among the religious fringe.
In this exceptional biography, historian Leigh Schmidt uses Ida C. Craddock, a key, albeit obscure figure, as an exciting and exemplary window into a broader revolt against the nineteenth-century Protestant establishment. As the title suggests, Craddock was an eclectic reformer. As an untutored scholar, she wrote extensively on the history of phallic worship, in part to argue for a lost golden era of Matriarchal religion.
She acted as the pastor of the Church of Yoga, an effort to promote ideas about sex and religion that she found partly in writings from the East. Eventually, as a sexologist and marriage counselor, she produced sexual manuals and met with couples to encourage reform in the bedroom.
What was the political and religious agenda Soph and Craddock wanted to bring about? It involved pushing against ideas that sex was for procreation only and the sentiment that decent women should not enjoy it. Craddock would spend a great deal of energy avoiding both fates. Ultimately her story concludes in the midst of a highly publicized trial. On October 16, , her body was discovered in her apartment, the result of a suicide.
