Biographical / Historical
The Women's Foreign Missionary Society of NYYM was established in 1888. In 1926 they began to use the name Women's Missionary Society, although the Yearly Meeting minutes do not reflect this shift until 1928. From 1932, the Yearly Meeting minutes refer to the Women's Missionary Society as the Women's Missionary Union, although the society's own notes do not refer to the body by that name until 1940. After 1939, reports or member lists of the Women's... Missionary Union fail to appear in the Yearly Meeting Minutes, but they remained independently active through at least 1943.
