Abstract
This study evaluates the entrance of Methodist women mission workers into Mexico and the work they carried out there. Until the 1870s the strength of the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico prevented Protestant entrance. The Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South inaugurated their Mexican work with male missionaries. However, female workers followed closely behind them and performed an immense amount of work. This thesis will examine women's work in Mexico and its impact. This work introduces the principal female mission workers who served the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South in Mexico, and the work they did. Women's work had an impact on Mexico through their educational, medical and social work. The church structures of the United States both helped and hindered the female missionaries until most were forced to leave by the Mexican Revolution of 1910. This thesis records the Methodist female workers' impact on Mexico.
