Pick one utopian movement in America. What did it contribute to American culture? rach905 https://padlet.com/rach905/2lr0of30aulx/wish/145191438 The Oneida Community believed in a benign deity. Founder John Humphrey Noyes taught the key to happiness was the suppression of selfishness. He believed true Christians should not own private property, and that material things and sexual partners should all be shared among the community. By the 1860s the Oneida Community was a flourishing commonwealth of three hundred people. Men and women shared equally in all the community's tasks, from field to factory to kitchen.

What are the two points of view from the authors of the passages in the "Contending Voices: The Role of Women" excerpt? rach905 https://padlet.com/rach905/2lr0of30aulx/wish/145194445 The first point of view from "Women out of their Latitude" treats the Woman's Rights Conventions as a joke, condemning their actions of organizing and attending these meetings instead of attending to their "more appropriate duties".
