Book Description
Excerpt from A Memoir of Mrs. Margaret Wilson: Of the Scottish Mission, Bombay; Including Extracts From Her Letters and Journals The beginning of my intercourse with Margaret was at an early period of our existence, - at that bright season, when all looks fair and attractive, and life seems to promise a succession of enjoyments, which are without limit and without end. Bu ere she had time to learn from experience that such hopes are fallacious, God had graciously touched her heart, and enabled her, like Mary of old, to choose the better part. She chose it with all the warmth of young affection, for her heart was full of sensibility and tenderness. Her dispositions were a fine com bination of warmth of affection and disinterestedness of feeling 3 her talents were of the first order 3 and her after acquirements were of such a description as brought them into full play, and formed a character at once lovely and attractive. But she brought all to the foot of the Cross, and for a time, with weep ing and mourning, she was made to experience what it is to be in bitterness through manifold temptations. But in all this, the Almighty was only preparing the ground for the mighty harvest it was afterwards to yield, when she became as a well watered garden, drinking in the dews of heaven, and deriving strength and spiritual vigour from the Sun of Righteousness.

Pages : 344
Book Description
A sourcebook illustrating the experience of Scottish women from 1780-1914. Drawing on a wide range of source materials from across Scotland, this sourcebook provides new insights into women's attitudes to the society in which they lived, and how they negotiated their identities within private and public life.Organised in thematic chapters, it moves from the private and intimate experiences of sexuality, health and sickness to Scotswomen's migrations across the British empire, illustrating many facets of women's lives - domesticity and waged work, defiance of law and convention, religious faith and respectability, political action and public influence. A range of fascinating and rich source material sheds new light on the lives of women across Scotland throughout the long nineteenth century, demonstrating the pervasiveness of discourses of appropriate feminine behaviour, but also women's subversion of this. It raises challenging questions for researchers about the identification of women's voices, where these have been muted by class, religion, or ethnicity, while at the same time providing a methodology for uncovering these.

Women’s Writing and Mission in the Nineteenth Century
Author: Angharad EyrePublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 100077452X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Until now, the missionary plot in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre has been seen as marginal and anomalous. Despite women missionaries being ubiquitous in the nineteenth century, they appeared to be absent from nineteenth-century literature. As this book demonstrates, though, the female missionary character and narrative was, in fact, present in a range of writings from missionary newsletters and life writing, to canonical Victorian literature, New Woman fiction and women’s college writing. Nineteenth-century women writers wove the tropes of the female missionary figure and plot into their domestic fiction, and the female missionary themes of religious self-sacrifice and heroism formed the subjectivity of these writers and their characters. Offering an alternative narrative for the development of women writers and early feminism, as well as a new reading of Jane Eyre, this book adds to the debate about whether religious women in the nineteenth century could actually be radical and feminist.
