| Description: |
Years before Mary Jane McLeod Bethune started her school for girls in Florida, one Midwestern woman was steadily doing her part for girls in the northern Angolan high plateau. For more than three decades, African American missionary Susan Angeline Collins made a tremendous difference in the lives of countless African women and children, some orphaned and homeless and others escaping early marriage and subservience. Authored by retired professor Janis Bennington Van Buren, this book explores the remarkable service-oriented life of Collins from her 1851 birth in Illinois (near Edwardsville) until her 1940 death in Iowa. Collins overcame economic, education, gender, race, religious, and other obstacles surrounding Africa’s colonization to serve as a stalwart missionary, leader, teacher, nurse, construction manager, and surrogate mother to “her girls.” Larger than average print. *2023 UWF Reading Program Bonus Book: Education for Mission |
