Live Laugh Love

In "Live Laugh Love," Kristin Kobes Du Mez traces the origins of white Christian femininity in the United States, exploring its deep roots in late nineteenth-century religious and cultural movements. Through an engaging history that connects consumer culture, religious ideas, and societal ideals, the book reveals how notions of positivity and domesticity have shaped modern perceptions of womanhood. Combining cultural history with personal storytelling, Du Mez examines how these influences continue to impact lives, families, and politics today.
