Synopsis

The invisibility of women in historical research is a problem that requires dedicated attention and concrete efforts to overcome. This book aims to make a small contribution toward this goal by shedding light on the significant contributions of Scandinavian women in early Pentecostalism. The authors of this volume bring to light the stories of mostly unknown female Pentecostal pioneers and how they shaped their respective movements and Pentecostalism internationally. The stories range from key leaders, like Laura Barratt and Anna Larssen Bjørner in Norway and Denmark, to obscure “apostles” in the Arctic regions, like Alma Halse and Gerda Åström, to missionaries in Africa and Brazil, like Hilda Backlund, Linnea Halldorf, Ingrid Løkken Chawner, and Frida Vingren. The stories provide a window into the challenges and possibilities of Pentecostal women at the turn of the twentieth century. These “empowered voices” have finally received an audience that they so deeply deserve.
