As leaders, teachers, missionaries and organizers, women have shaped the history of Methodism.

From the local church to the global church, women have led and served ministries within marginalized communiities, as well as initiate important social and political reform.

We invite you to explore the inspiring stories of women who have made important contributions to the life of the church, as well as discover ideas to help nurture your own participation and witness.
