Description

This collection of essays by eminent anthropologists, missiologists and historians explores the significant contributions of women missionaries and the profound impact of Christian missionary activity on women across cultures and centuries. Divided into two parts, the work examines 19th century women missionaries as portrayed in historical literature, investigating their diverse backgrounds and experiences in mission fields whilst analysing missionary societies' attitudes towards their female workers. The essays challenge traditional narratives that positioned women missionaries merely as wives and support workers, revealing instead their active roles and agency in missionary endeavours. Contributors provide cross-cultural perspectives that illuminate how women navigated religious, social and cultural boundaries during pivotal historical periods. This academic collection addresses a previously overlooked dimension of missionary history and women's historical agency, offering scholars, historians and students of religious studies valuable insights into the complex relationships between gender, faith and cultural exchange.
