      abstract = {This book explores the intersections between  nineteenth-century social reform movements in the United  States. Delving into the little-known history of women who  joined income-sharing communities during the 1840s, this  book uses four community case studies to examine social  activism within communal environments. In a period when  women faced legal and social restrictions ranging from  coverture to slavery, the emergence of residential  communities designed by French utopian writer, Charles  Fourier, introduced spaces where female leadership and  social organization became possible. Communitarian women  helped shape the ideological underpinnings of some of the  United States most enduring and successful reform efforts,  including the womens rights movement, the abolition  movement, and the creation of the Republican Party. Dr.  Hart argues that these movements were intertwined, with  activists influencing multiple organizations within  unexpected settings. Dr. Amy Hart holds a Ph. D. in History  from the University of California, Santa Cruz. She has  served as a lecturer at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and is  currently a public historian for California State Parks.},
