    This the story of four philosophers-Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Iris Murdoch-who helped shape the intellectual history of the 20th century, reviving the ethical imagination of their time and ours. The Second World War gave these four women their chance, as they pursued roles formerly reserved for men. But they succeeded because of their formidable intelligence and because of who they were: a combative Catholic convert who never cared whomshe offended; her unlikely best friend, an atheist who grew up in a world of class and manners; a woman who spent a decade and a half raising her boys, publishing the first of her sixteen books at almost 60; and a mystical novelist who gradually drifted away from the academy. This is a book for thoseinterested in these vivid characters, in the first school of women philosophers, or in alternative ways of thinking about how to live.

This book offers a new approach to these and related questions.

    In The Gospel of Church, Janine Giordano Drake traces the rivalry between organized labor and the American churches from 1880 to 1920, highlighting how the rise in labor and agricultural movements at the turn of the century ran parallel with low church-attendance, high circulation rates of socialist newspapers, and outdoor revivalism, as communities animated by a shared commitment to a Christian Commonwealth took the place of formal religion for thousands of working people. Social Gospel ministers' efforts to assert their authority over industrial affairs directly undermined workers' efforts to bring about social democracy in the United States.
