Nevertheless, women frequently serve as vocal leaders in Protestant organizations, including the early twentieth-century Norwegian Mission Society. In \u003ci\u003eLife in Language\u003c\/i\u003e, Ingie Hovland offers a unique biography of Henny Dons, a leader of the society's so-called mission feminists, that grapples with ways Protestant women crafted innovative, expansive self-understandings through Christian language. More than their male peers, the mission feminists turned to religious speech to express material, as well as heavenly, desires for paid work, voting rights, and more, and Hovland argues that these experiments in women speaking, reading, writing, and listening paved the way for a new way of being in the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngie Hovland\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of religion and women's studies at the University of Georgia and author of \u003ci\u003eMission Station Christianity: Norwegian Missionaries in Colonial Natal and Zululand, Southern Africa 1850-1890\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 22, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47519174361341,"sku":"9780226838311","price":54.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/ALDyqWV81z9780226838311.webp?v=1778360082","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/life-in-language-mission-feminists-and-the-emergence-of-a-new-protestant-subject-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
