Most Methodists are unaware of the role these women played in the development of the movement and of the debt we owe them. I hope that clergy and laity, female and male, will read the book and learn from as well as learn about them.

"They see that I am independent and strong but they don’t see that I am loyal and a hard worker." -Carolyn McGhee
