Missionary Women as Models in the Cross-Cultural Context

Abstract

Long neglected in missionary histories, women missionaries are the unsung heroes of the past century, and well may be the source of much of this century's missionary success stories, says Fran Hiebert in this provocative article. Instead of claiming to be the champions of women, Western mission agencies may need to repent and look for some ashcloth if they are not going to lose their credibility vis-à-vis the church in the Two-Thirds World.
