Summary:

Mary Baker Eddy. Speaking for herself offers an unprecedented look at the woman hailed in 1907 as "...the most famous, interesting, and powerful woman in America, if not the world" (Human Life magazine). First in a series of books featuring her previously unpublished writings, this is a volume where Eddy's voice is heard as never before. Mary Baker Eddy's accomplishments as a healer. author, publisher, and founder of an international newspaper and a worldwide movement are extraordinary when viewed in light of her nineteenth-century surroundings. Jana K. Riess, Religion Book Review Editor for Publishers Weekly, notes that Eddy "...persistently enlarged the boundaries of spirituality, womanhood, and medicine more than a century ago. She was a unique, strong, and visionary leader, a product of the nineteenth century who looked into the future and claimed its progress." Dr. Riess's insightful introduction looks at the societal context in which Eddy lived and made her lasting legacy. As the current interest in spirituality continues to rise, Eddy's bold concepts about spirituality, health, and womanhood are more relevant than ever. In the words of Dr. Riess, "Her personal story could be any of ours, and it inspires us to transcend our circumstances as she did."
