Sans titre (This is the Father and the Son...)

Spiritualist practices provided women with a spiritual authority and a prophetic role.

Mediums, beings with supposed exceptional powers capable of "extraordinary" communication, were seen as socially more approachable than the clergy for those who sought contact with the sacred and the transcendental. In addition, as spiritualism had a less dogmatic character, women could express themselves freely through it and take on an almost prophetic role. For "Sister" Morgan, a revelation bade her paint in order to "find a new way of speaking of the Gospel" and to spread the divine word.
