Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "High Adventure; Life of Lucy Rider Meyer" by Isabelle Horton offers an intimate and inspiring look at the life of one of the most influential women in American Methodist history. Lucy Rider Meyer was a pioneer who combined her medical training with a profound religious calling to reshape the role of women within the church. This biography charts her journey from her early education through the founding of the Chicago Training School for City, Home, and Foreign Missions, an institution that would revolutionize Christian service and social work at the turn of the century.Horton captures the spirit of a woman who was both a scholar and an activist. The narrative explores Meyer's instrumental role in reviving the office of the deaconess, providing a path for thousands of women to engage in ministry, nursing, and teaching. By blending faith with practical social action, Meyer addressed the pressing needs of the urban poor and paved the way for modern social service. Through detailed accounts of her challenges and triumphs, "High Adventure; Life of Lucy Rider Meyer" serves as both a historical record of the Methodist movement and a testament to a life dedicated to the service of others. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of women's leadership, religious education, and the evolution of American social work.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
