Womens' Missionary Association, circa 1895-1904

Collection: Colonial Women Missionaries of the Committee for Women's Work, 1861–1967 Volumes Womens' Missionary Association, circa 1895-1904

These items retain their focus on the missionaries' principle project: the maintenance and growth of mission schools around the world. The picture of finances over this period is more sustainable than during previous years and rules intended to protect female staff are introduced. The missionaries have some concerns about a potential food shortage following the cessation of slavery in Madagascar. This group of missionaries also report that they are making the effort to teach in Malagasy in order to nurture this native language whilst accusing the Jesuits of only teaching in French.
