Abstract
This article examines some of the meanings of religious belief in the lives of Protestant evangelical women who worked as missionaries and deaconesses in the early to mid‐twentieth‐century. It suggests that faith could both impede and facilitate their search for personal autonomy, that it framed their relationships with those in authority and those to whom they ministered, and that as a source of women's agency it needs more investigation.
