| Summary: | In Competing Kingdoms, Barbara Reeves-Ellington, Kathryn Kish Sklar, and Connie A. Shemo bring together a group of emerging and established historians in an innovative project of bringing insights from American mission women's history into the framework of American cultural imperialism. The writers explore mission archives to offer a gendered perspective to the field of American international relations that has previously been male dominated. Building on existing literature that has demonstrated the critical importance of women to Christian conversion and the provision of education and health services in non-Western societies, these scholars shift the debate further to place mission women centrally in the current internationalization of American history. |
