Daughters of the Cross: or Woman's Mission

The volume assembles concise memoirs of Christian women who served overseas, tracing each subject's early life, conversion, voyage to mission fields, evangelistic labors, hardships, and often premature death. Subjects are drawn from multiple denominations and geographic regions, with individual sketches organized to emphasize personal faith, practical service, and daily experiences rather than institutional histories. Interspersed reflections outline the broader missionary enterprise, its aims, challenges, and modes of support, presenting both inspirational examples and sober accounts of suffering. The collection's stated purpose is to inform readers about missionary work, commemorate those who served, and encourage continued interest and aid for foreign missions.
