Summary: "Samantha among the Brethren — Volume 7" by Marietta Holley is a humorous novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the spirited and witty protagonist, Samantha, as she navigates the social dynamics and gender issues of her community, particularly within the context of the Methodist Church. Through her interactions with various characters, the book explores themes of women's roles and contributions in church activities and society at large.

As she recounts experiences and encounters with fellow female church members, it becomes evident that the women are making personal sacrifices for the church's benefit, showcasing both their dedication and the comedic elements of their situations.
