Biographical sketches of the lives and public ministry of various holy women : whose eminent usefulness and successful labours in the church of Christ have entitled them to be enrolled among the great benefactors of mankind : in which are included several letters from the Rev. J. Wesley never before published
Summary: This collection of biographies was compiled by Zachariah Taft in 1825 to record the ministry of women in the early days of Methodism, lest they "drop into oblivion." Included are the biographies of Susanna Wesley, Mary Fletcher and Sarah Lawrance. The book is opened to John Wesleyï¿½s response to Mary Fletcher's letter about women preachers. He says she has "an extraordinary call" and is to continue preaching.
