520 |a Newly empowered public women were the mainstay of Christian Science at the turn of the twentieth century, but some of them became an obstacle to its founder Mary Baker Eddy’s plan to eliminate excessive “personality” and place her movement under successful men more acceptable to patriarchal culture. One of the most remarkable and controversial of these female leaders was Augusta E. Stetson (1842–1928), guiding genius of First Church of Christ, Scientist, New York, which was the largest branch (local) Christian Science church in the world. Enthusiastic about the potential metaphysics provided, Stetson moved steadily forward, seemingly unaware of growing male and female opposition. This essay opens new views into the modi operandi of Stetson and Eddy and demonstrates that Stetson’s actions contributed to her dramatic ouster from a largely female movement.
