Book Description
Excerpt from The Boston Pioneers of the Woman's Union Missionary Society, Nov; 16, 1860 Nov; 16, 1910: A Memorial A more recent instance of prophetic signs is cited in the first number of Crumbs, the first publication of the Woman's Union Missionary Society. An unknown heroine writes to Mrs. Mason, wife of Rev. Dr. Francis Mason, a missionary in Burmah, that application to one of the large societies was refused as they did not send out unmarried ladies unprotected. I looked around, she says, for some other way by which I might reach my poor heathen sisters, and on seeing your Circular felt the plan was one to which my heart responded. I do not know as you receive ap plications from strangers. If a young lady (presumably herself)should receive support from her own church, or from the churches of an Association, would you take her under your dirce tion? If it should be impossible for me to go with you, when will there be another opportunity? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Looking-glass for Ladies
Author: Lisa Joy Pruitt
Publisher: Mercer University Press
ISBN: 9780865548886
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Lisa Joy Pruitt offers a new look at women's involvement in the mission movement, with a welcome focus on the often overlooked antebellum era. Most scholars have argued that the emergence of women as a dominant force in American Protestant missions in the late nineteenth-century was an outgrowth of nascent feminist activism in the various denominations. This new contribution suggests that the feminization of the later mission movement actually stemmed in large part from images of the "degraded Oriental woman" that popular evangelical literature had been circulating since the 1790s, and that the increasing focus on and involvement of women was supported by male denominational leaders as an important strategy for reaching the world with the Christian gospel. In the late eighteenth through the early nineteenth-centuries, popular evangelical literature began circulating descriptions of women of the "Orient" designed to illustrate the need of those women for the Christian gospel. Such powerful and widely disseminated images demonstrated to young American women their relatively privileged position in society and, throughout the nineteenth-century, led many to support the cause of missions with their money and sometimes their lives. A belief in the desperate need of "Oriental" women for salvation and social uplift was largely responsible for feminizing the American Protestant foreign mission movement. "A Looking-Glass for Ladies": American Protestant Women and the Orient in the Nineteenth Century traces the creation and dissemination of images of women who lived in that part of the world known to nineteenth-century Westerners as the "Orient." It examines the emotional power of those images tocreate sympathy in American women for their "sisters" in Asia. That sympathy catalyzed many evangelical women and men to argue for vocational roles for women, both married and single, in the mission movement. The book demonstrates the ways in which assumptions about the condition and needs of "Oriental" women shaped American evangelical women's self perceptions, as well as the evangelizing strategies of the missionaries and their sending agencies.
