In atters of mission history, as in so many other areas, scholars have been much better at telling "his" story than "hers." Smith tries to redress the balance with a comprehensive history of mission that highlights the critical contributions of women, as well as the theological development that influenced their role. Following a survey of critical development since 1965 in both Catholic and other churches, she concludes with a magisterial chapter entitled "A Feminist Missiology for Contemporary Missionary Women." |
