- Title
"An Opportunity to Aid in This Good Work": Power and Participation in the Ann Hasseltine Missionary Society.
- Authors
McMichael, Mandy Ellene
- Abstract
The article highlights the rise and fall of the Ann Hasseltine Missionary Society (AHMS) of Judson College. The history of this society reveals that as evangelistic efforts were institutionalized Baptist women no longer exerted control over their finances nor did they participate in the decision-making process about the distribution of money they had raised for missions. The AHMS presents one picture of an inordinately powerful missionary society that eventually lost its control altogether. The disappearance of the AHMS resulted in a loss of power and control among its women members.
