Pope-Levison has carefully curated archival resources--vivid vignettes, striking photos, and intimate personal diaries--to offer us, not just a historical overview, but an encounter with the women who left their homes in Australia, Great Britain, Canada, continental Europe, New Zealand, the Philippines, and the United States, to don the black dresses, distinctive bonnets, and sturdy shoes of a burgeoning movement dedicated to serving those ground down by suffering, sickness, poverty, and addiction. This is not just any book. It is an experience that captures the lost lives of women who visited in tenements, waited on train platforms to welcome young boys and girls arriving alone, who nursed and preached and taught and fed. Deaconesses carved out a precarious existence in no man's land--neither fully clergy nor fully laity--that nonetheless galvanized an international network of Methodist women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePriscilla Pope-Levison, research professor of practical theology at Southern Methodist University, is the author of \u003ci\u003eTurn the Pulpit Loose: Two Centuries of American Women Evangelists\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBuilding the Old Time Religion: Women Evangelists in the Progressive Era\u003c\/i\u003e.
