Project Gutenberg 2005-08-01 Public domain in the USA. 170 Laurie, Thomas 1821 1897 Woman and Her Saviour in Persia By a Returned Missionary Produced by Charles Aldarondo, Tiffany Vergon, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Woman and Her Saviour in Persia" by Thomas Laurie is a historical account likely written in the mid-19th century. This book focuses on the transformative impact of Christian teachings on the lives of women among the Nestorian community in Persia, highlighting their struggles and the societal changes initiated through missionary work. The opening of the book sets the stage by describing the harsh realities faced by women in Persia, particularly the Nestorian women, who were marginalized in a despotic society with no avenues for education or self-expression. It paints a vivid picture of their living conditions, societal norms, and the deeply ingrained cultural beliefs that dictated their lives. From oppressive family structures to significant struggles against absolute ignorance and negativity, the text establishes a stark contrast between their situation before and after the introduction of Gospel teachings. The beginning also hints at notable characters, particularly the missionary, Miss Fiske, whose experiences and encounters with these women serve as the central narrative's thread. It reveals her compassion and commitment to improving their lives through education and spiritual guidance. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 76.3 (7th grade).
