Founded in the late nineteenth century in Great Britain, the Student Christian Movement (SCM) -- now the World Student Christian Federation -- today embraces two million members in over ninety countries. Among the groups descended from the SCM are Campus Crusade for Christ, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, and the YMCA.Drawing on the historical records of the SCM, Thomas A. Russell establishes the role of women in the organization from its beginning, stressing not only the pressures and prejudices they faced but also the pioneering work they performed and the valuable contributions they offered.A work of immense historical value, Russell's text advances the ongoing debate on the role of women in numerous religious communities, Christian and otherwise.
