Book Description
Published in the late 19th century, Woman's Missionary Friend is a monthly magazine that provided updates about the activities of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It included articles about missionary work around the world, as well as news and opinion pieces about women's rights and social issues. The magazine was an important forum for women to express their views and advocate for change, and it continues to be a valuable primary source for historians of gender and religion.

Book Description
Addressing an important social and political issue which is still much debated today, this volume explores the connections between religious conversions and gendered identity against the backdrop of a world undergoing significant social transformations. Adopting a collaborative approach to their research, the authors explore the connections and differences in conversion experiences, tracing the local and regional rootedness of individual conversions as reflected in conversion narratives in three different locations: Germany and German missions in South Africa and colonial Australia, at a time of massive social changes in the 1860s. Beginning with the representation of religious experiences in so-called conversion narratives, the authors explore the social embeddedness of religious conversions and inquire how people related to their social surroundings, and in particular to gender order and gender practices, before, during and after their conversion. With a concluding reflective essay on comparative methods of history writing and transnational perspectives on conversion, this book offers a fresh perspective on historical debates about religious change, gender and social relations.
