Women missionaries in China

Women missionaries found greater challenges and greater status in mission work than they would have in church vocations at home. Elizabeth Goertz founded the successful Yu Jen School of Nursing in Kai Chow in 1930. Aganetha Fast and Marie J. Regier worked for many years in village itineration at outstations and in the countryside. Mathilda Kliewer Voth took special interest in infant welfare. Pauline Miller Goering organized a Women's Missionary Society in the Taming Fu Church.
