By Daniel Clarke Eddy

Book Overview

The Three Mrs. Judsons: And Other Daughters Of The Cross is a book written by Daniel Clarke Eddy and first published in 1859. The book tells the stories of three women who were married to Adoniram Judson, a prominent Baptist missionary who worked in Burma during the early 19th century. The first Mrs. Judson, Ann Hasseltine Judson, was a pioneer in the field of women's education and played a significant role in the establishment of the first women's college in America. The second Mrs. Judson, Sarah Boardman Judson, was a devoted missionary who worked tirelessly to spread the gospel in Burma. The third Mrs. Judson, Emily Chubbuck Judson, was a writer and poet who documented her experiences as a missionary in Burma and helped to raise awareness of the plight of Burmese women. In addition to the stories of the three Mrs. Judsons, the book also includes accounts of other women who served as missionaries during this time period, including Harriet Newell, who was one of the first American women to become a missionary, and Fidelia Fiske, who worked to establish schools for girls in Persia. Overall, The Three Mrs. Judsons: And Other Daughters Of The Cross is a fascinating look at the lives of women who dedicated themselves to spreading Christianity and improving the lives of others in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
