Produced by Charles Aldarondo, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Daughters of the Cross: or Woman's Mission" by Daniel C. Eddy is a historical account written in the mid-19th century that highlights the lives and contributions of eminent female missionaries who dedicated themselves to spreading Christianity in various parts of the world. The book aims to inspire readers by showcasing the remarkable sacrifices and deeds of these women, often referred to as heroines, who toiled on foreign soil, championing the cause of missions amid adversity. The beginning of the text offers a preface that outlines the objectives of the book and introduces the first featured missionary, Harriet Newell, detailing her life from a young girl in Haverhill to becoming the first American female missionary. The narrative illustrates her struggles with familial bonds, personal faith, and the monumental decision to embark on a missionary journey to India alongside her husband. Eddy poignantly narrates Newell’s inner conflicts, her unwavering commitment to service despite societal doubts, and ultimately, her tragic early death while still devoted to her calling. This opening sets the groundwork for an inspiring collection of biographical sketches that celebrate the commitment of these women to their faith and humanitarian causes.
