Our Woman Workers

Biographical sketches of more than two hundred women 'eminent in the Universalist church for literary, philanthropic and Christian work' — preachers, writers, editors, missionaries, and reformers — compiled by Eliza Rice Hanson, wife of J. W. Hanson. The denomination ordained women earlier than any other American church of its size, and this volume is the fullest contemporary record of that female leadership: Olympia Brown, Phebe Hanaford, Mary Livermore, and scores now otherwise forgotten.
