| Summary: | The year 1894 nearly derailed the vision of Meta Chestnutt Sager, one of the most successful missionary-educators in the history of the SCM, whose legacy has been largely forgotten.

Chestnutt Sager’s life and ministry challenged cultural norms and gender expectations, a struggle that resonates today. |
