Abstract

97 England a Women's Mission Committee (WMC) was established in 1841, but opposition was strong and only two single women were sent out. In 1883 and 1884 efforts to revive the Committee failed; a missionary sta- tioned in India even belittled the work of the English Zenana Mission! At last, influenced by the Women's Movement in society at large, the Wom- en's Mission Committee (WMC) was re-established in 1901, though it remained under the direct control of the Committee. Through the new WMC, missionary training got finally a start; women missionaries were enabled to follow courses at home and abroad (e.g. in Edinburgh), but it was not before 1911 that a Sister house was opened. The regime, howe- ver, was often strict and belittling. There were many other concerns. In 1898 the wish of women to be blessed before their departure was assented to, though it had to happen in the chapel of the Mission house, not in the church. After fighting for it during nine years, the right to vote in the Missionary conferences was in 1909 granted to the women missionaries in India (mostly teachers in higher education).
