Abstract

The article discusses a book titled "Birthing Revival Women and Mission in Nineteenth-Century France," which focuses on the role of Parisian women in a religious revival movement in France during the 19th century. The author examines the agency of women in promoting infant schools and explores the connection between feminism and missionary work. The book draws on memoirs, manuscripts, and papers of Bible Societies and Paris Mission subcommittees to uncover the contributions of women in raising funds and networking with other Protestant movements. However, the article criticizes the book for not addressing the impact of colonialism and secularization on women missionaries, and for emphasizing women's maternal and wifely qualities rather than their ability to act independently.
