BIBLE TRANSLATORS, EDUCATORS, AND SUFFRAGISTS: THE SMITH WOMEN, A NINETEENTH-CENTURY CASE STUDY IN AMERICA ABOUT POWER, AGENCY, AND SUBORDINATION by LAUREL KOONTZ Under the Direction of H. Robert Baker ABSTRACT The methodological approach used to tell the Smith sisters’ story is first and foremost a case study of women in the nineteenth century and the gendered categories that were constructed to define women. The story will be told through a biographical narrative, which will allow Hannah, Julia, and Abby Smith’s to tell their story in their own voice. Also, included within the biography is an examination of the nineteenth-century theories that defined women’s lives, and what effect, if any, these theories had on the Smiths. Each chapter is layered with three different narratives in an attempt to unravel the world that women lived in the nineteenth century.
