This comprehensive volume delves into a wealth of unpublished original material spanning from the pre-1940s to the present, providing a unique historiographic exploration of twentieth-century Methodist missionary work and the active expression of faith by women at the pivotal juncture of historical and global transformations. The study centers on two English Methodist missionary nursing sisters and siblings, Audrey and Muriel Chalkely, whose words and experiences are intricately documented, highlighting the tumultuous socio-political changes that occurred in the aftermath of the end of Empire and post-Independence in twentieth-century Kenya and South India. The work offers a timely reevaluation of prevailing post-colonial critiques by placing the centrality of human relationships at the forefront. Through a detailed (auto)biographical and reflective narrative, this "herstory" revolves around three main thematic strands: people, place, and passion, where socio-cultural details are vividly explored. The book appeals to a diverse readership, including both the general public and academic scholars, with a lively, entertaining, and literary style that introduces readers to the politics of women's lives, while also foregrounding ethno-class-caste oppression, emancipation, conflict, commitments, and religious tensions. It unveils the human, vulnerable aspects of these women, illuminating their stories and courageous choices.
