Women have always played an important part in the work of the church, even in biblical times. In the history of the Adventist church, women have served in almost all capacities, filling a wide variety of roles. It is important that we take note of their accomplishments to encourage us to preserve and to inspire future generations to take up the tasks their forebearers faithfully carried out.
Each of these women is important in her own right. She is also a representative of the thousands who have labored and worked in each of the fifty-year periods of the Adventist Church history indicated in this brochure. Still today, distinguished women are often unknown and unnoticed.
Thousands of other women could, and should be mentioned, but we trust that the example of these faithful women will be a blessing as you use your gifts for God.
