Title: An Amazing American Woman in China 1905-1934
Review: This is a fascinating memoir from a woman who spent her married life in the interior or China at the beginning of the 20th century. It was originally written just for her children and thus what she considered an ordinary recounting of her life in China. The difficulties she surmounted and the strength and grace that she demonstrated reveal her as an extraordinary woman. It is a book filled with exciting adventure in addition to descriptions of the challenges of running a home deep in China. Her account of her life as the wife of a YWCA secretary gives a view of the life of a foreigner in China at the height of the missionary effort but it also is a fascinating account of what a woman is capable of.
