A response to the prominent Methodist historian David Hempton's
call to analyse women's experience within Methodism, this book is
the first to deal with British Methodist women preachers over the
entire nineteenth century. The author covers women preachers in
Wesley's lifetime, the reason why some Methodist sects allowed
women to preach and others did not, and the experience of Bible
Christian and Primitive Methodist female evangelists before 1850.
She also describes the many other ways in which women supported
their chapel communities. The book also includes discussion of the
careers of mid-century women revivalists, the opportunities home
and foreign missions offered for female evangelism, the emergence
of deaconess evangelists and Sisters of the People in late century,
and the brief revival of female itinerancy among the Bible
Christians. -- .
