Methodist History: Early Voice for Women’s Rights

More at umc.org/videos
She may not be a household name now, but Methodist reformer Frances Willard was once the president of the largest woman's organization in the United States. She was a force in the late 19th century seeking voting rights, better conditions for women, and even full representation in the Methodist Church. One pastor in Ohio was quoted as saying, "God, Buffalo Bill, and Frances Willard were the three most wonderful people on earth."

I'm a historian and I've spent a over a decade studying American Christianities and much of my work, in time, focused on Methodism in America from the Revolution on. Its really a wonderful and fascinating history

Every woman in America owes their standing to this woman.
