My greatgrandmother Mary Clarke Nind, an indomitable little English lady, gave up homeland and church to marry an expatriate. In her new home of Minnesota she helped to organize the Midwest chapter of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1888 five women were elected to attend the Methodist General Conference in New York. After much debate all five, including my greatgrandmother and Frances Willard of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, were declared ineligible - on account of sex! "They said I was not a minister or a layman," was the explanation. But Mary Nind traveled on to address the 1888 Centenary Missions Conference in London as a "lay delegate." Six years later, with one son in South America (later the Azores) and a daughter in China, she set out on an almost unprecedented world tour of missions lasting nearly three years.
