"Aimee Semple McPherson and the Remaking of American Faith, Politics, and Culture" explores the intersection of gender, political, and religious history in the twentieth century United States, analyzing how competing groups struggled to shape their culture and society. In particular, I focus on Los Angeles-based evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson (1890--1944). McPherson appropriated the sensationalist publicity tactics of Hollywood, established a mass media empire, and engaged in populist politics, hoping to strengthen Protestants' privileged social position in the face of growing pluralism. She also defied traditional gender and racial hierarchies, and built a state-of-the-art social welfare institution. Reacting to her enormous charisma and power, artists such as Sinclair Lewis, Frank Capra, and Pete Seeger have mythologized her exploits in popular culture throughout the twentieth century.
