Sarah Williams explains how the mother of modern feminism fell off the pages of history. --- After her death in 1906, Josephine Butler was described as one of the “few great people who have moulded the course of things”. (For the record, she was also described by peers as “the most beautiful woman in the world”.) Yet how many of us have heard of her? A bit too feminist for later Christians, a bit too Christian for later feminists, this pioneer of the movement against sex trafficking is only now being remembered. Sarah Williams is an historian at Regent College and a research associate at St Benet's Hall, Oxford. And over the last few years, she has gotten to know Josephine Butler well – she would even go so far as to call her a friend. When Natasha Moore asked what she finds so remarkable about Butler, Sarah speaks first about her persistence – the sixteen years she spent working to overturn one law that unjustly discriminated against women. “I don't think that we lack vision in our culture, but we definitely lack stamina … I think she did it by recognising that she couldn't do it. Does that sound strange?” For International Women's Day this year, meet the woman who's been called the mother of modern feminism – and join an ongoing conversation our culture is having about power, justice, gender, and what it means to “change the world”. “We might imagine that the real centres of power are where powerful people change culture through influencing spheres of culture – media, politics, the law, and so on … And yet what's extraordinary about somebody like Josephine Butler or Mahatma Gandhi or any other of the great social reformers that we can think of in history, is that they somehow manage to see that really the margins matter a lot. And that what goes on at the centre, if it fails to understand what's going on at the margins, does so at its peril.” — Pre-order Sarah Williams' biography of Josephine Butler, When Courage Calls.

Carrie Turansky is the award-winning author of more than twenty inspirational novels and novellas and a winner of the ACFW Carol Award, the International Digital Award, and the Holt Medallion. She loved traveling to England to research her latest Edwardian novels including the one we're discussing today, The Legacy of Longdale Manor.  Here's a description: In 2012, art historian Gwen Monroe travels to England's Lake District to appraise the paintings and antiques of an old family friend, hoping to prove herself to her prestigious grandfather. While at Longdale Manor, she becomes acquainted with David Bradley—the owner's handsome grandson—who is desperate to save the crumbling estate by selling Longdale's art and antiques. When Gwen stumbles upon an intricately carved shepherd's staff similar to one in a photo of her parents and a one-hundred-year-old journal, she uncovers a connection to the father she never knew.  In 1912, after her father's death, Charlotte Harper uncovers a painful family secret she can only confess to her journal. She and her family travel to the Lake District to stay on a sheep farm, hoping eventually to find a home with Charlotte's grandfather at Longdale Manor, but old wounds and heartrending secrets make it a difficult challenge. As Charlotte grows closer to shepherd Ian Storey and rebuilds her shattered faith, she must decide whether she will ever trust in love again.  Two women, a century apart, are taken on a journey to healing, faith, and forgiveness in this heartfelt dual-time Edwardian romance from bestselling author Carrie Turansky.  Purchase The Legacy of Longdale Manor on Amazon (affiliate).

Josephine Butler was a social reformer, women's rights activist, and an abolitionist. Her tireless efforts to advocate for the rights of women and marginalized communities have left a lasting impact on society. It was during her time as a mother that Josephine became acutely aware of the lack of reproductive rights and health care for women. She became a passionate advocate for women's rights, fighting against the Contagious Diseases Acts which allowed for the forced medical examination of women suspected of prostitution. She was a fierce abolitionist and worked to combat child prostitution. Her work was instrumental in the passage of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885, which raised the age of consent from 13 to 16 and helped to protect young girls from exploitation.

El documental Prostitución y abolicionismo en la Segunda República, con guion de Luis Miguel Úbeda, gira en torno al decreto abolicionista de junio de 1935 que acabó con la reglamentación de la prostitución en España. Su aprobación estuvo envuelta en un duro debate que reflejaba la complejidad de abolir una actividad muy asentada en la sociedad. El comercio sexual se venía tolerando en nuestro país y en Europa desde mediados del siglo XIX. Era una legalización encubierta en la que subyacía una con mala conciencia; una doble moral que justificaba la prostitución como un mal menor. El reglamentarismo buscó asiento científico en las tesis higienistas de la época que trataban de contener la extensión de las enfermedades de transmisión sexual con una policía sanitaria. De esta forma, se estableció un registro de prostitutas y un censo de las casas de lenocinio; un control que permitió fiscalizar con impuestos el comercio sexual y que reportó pingües beneficios a ayuntamientos y gobiernos civiles. Esa recaudación generó una de las críticas más descarnadas al sistema reglamentarista: la del Estado proxeneta. La regulación provocó también involuntariamente el nacimiento de una corriente feminista abolicionista, dirigida en un primer momento en Inglaterra por Josephine Butler. En España esta corriente penetró más tardíamente, pero terminó arraigando gracias a destacadas mujeres como Regina García, Victoriana Herrero, Matilde Huici, Victoria Kent, María Lejárraga, Ascensión de Madariaga, Carmen de Burgos, Margarita Nelken o Clara Campoamor. El reglamentarismo iba perdiendo fuerza y de igual forma, a comienzos del siglo XX, prendió la inquietud internacional por una actividad que escondía la trata de mujeres con destino a los prostíbulos. Desde 1932, en el debate parlamentario del abolicionismo llevó la voz cantante el psiquiatra César Juarros, diputado del Partido Republicano Progresista y fundador de la Sociedad Española del Abolicionismo. Aunque la Segunda República se declaró abolicionista desde primera hora, el debate se prolongó y hubo que esperar hasta 1935 para dar forma jurídica a la propuesta. No obstante, ya en abril de 1932 se promulgó un decreto suprimiendo todo tipo de impuesto a la actividad prostitucional. En el programa hemos contado con la colaboración de Isabel Escobedo, especialista en Historia Contemporánea de la Universidad de Zaragoza, autora, entre otros, de El movimiento abolicionista de la prostitución durante la IIª República; Beatriz Gimeno, activista del movimiento LGTB y autora de La prostitución: aportaciones para un debate abierto; y Rosario Carracedo, portavoz de la Plataforma Estatal de Organizaciones de Mujeres por la Abolición de la Prostitución.

This part 26 of a series of podcasts that will give you a snapshot of the No Name Heroes of the Faith. People who God used in small ways to make big things happen."It was the best of times, I was the worst of times." with those words Charles Dickens could well have been describing Victorian England. Josephine Butler was a social reformer and advocate for the sex trafficked women of the late 18th Century. Her story is written by Jane Robinson and can be found in CHM, Issue 141. The Article is called: Representative of the Outcast.The main source I will be using for these episodes will come from the pages of Christian History Magazine.

In the late nineteenth century, highly contentious debates about prostitution were central to broader questions about women's status within society, including their rights to property, entitlement to suffrage, and claims over their own bodies. Political scandals such as those over the 1860s Contagious Diseases Acts (which criminalized sex workers, not their customers) and the 1885 Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon (which was the first exposé of child prostitution in the UK) not only reveal attitudes towards the commercialization of the body but have left a legacy that we live with today.A lecture by Joanna BourkeThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/sex-workGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Josephine Butler is well known for her social activism in advocating for the rights of women, especially the welfare of prostitutes, and less known for the role religious convictions played in her life and advocacy work. She was a courageous activist who dared called men and women of England to listen to the cries of the  oppressed and marginalized using the Bible as her entry point. Butler wrote over 90 books and pamphlets.

Josephine Butler worked against sex-trafficking at a time when the words were taboo to speak aloud. She was an advocate for women who were looked down on by society. Stubborn does not begin to define her character. I think “will of steel” might be closer to accurate. While most people turn inwards through grief, Josephine […]

Professor Sarah Williams on the importance of language and history when it comes to gender. — “We have lost the language for talking about any form of biological determinism. Gender has replaced the word sex, which is ironic given the fact that it was introduced to create the possibility of nuance.” Questions about gender are a big part of the zeitgeist – they're incredibly important for us at this point in history, and incredibly charged. It's interesting to discover, then, that the word “gender” is a relatively new addition to the English language. The idea of gender, though, has a long and complicated history. Professor Sarah Williams from Regent College in Vancouver has been mapping the history of gender. In this episode, we take a deep dive into that history, and how we've arrived at the understandings we have today. Plus, we discover the key roles that the Bible, and Christianity, played in gender equality and women's rights movements. “Somewhere along the line, Christianity has been written out of the feminist narrative and of the women's movement. Women like Josephine Butler, who argued very strongly from a Christian perspective it was essential for the woman to have the vote, using Christian theology as the basis of her political philosophy. The late modern feminist doesn't quite know what to do with Christianity being a radical force for women, rather than a subjugating force for women. And as a Christian feminist myself, it matters a lot to me that we recover this part of the history of feminism.” — SUBSCRIBE to Life & Faith on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/cpxpodcast FIND US on Facebook: www.facebook.com/publicchristianity FOLLOW US on Twitter: www.twitter.com/cpx_tweet
