Margaret Brown (1887-1978)[1] was a Canadian nurse and author who worked in clinics in China, created schools for girls and women, taught Chinese nurses, built houses, did religious missionary work, and worked for the Christian Literature Society in Shanghai. She also founded The Women’s Star magazine. Early lifeMargaret Brown was born in 1887 near Tiverton in Kincardine Township, Ontario, Canada[2] and had a religious upbringing. Before starting missionary work in Henan, China she was a teacher for four years in Canada[3]. Missionary ServiceMargaret Brown’s missionary service was mainly at Tak Ding Hospital in Foochow. In Tak Ding she built housing for nurses, so they could live closer to the hospital. While there she learned the Foochow dialect in order to communicate with natives and used this to teach nursing skills to Chinese nurses in training. She also worked at a clinic in Yong Peng that opened in 1953. She returned to Canada from medical missionary service in 1956. WritingMargaret Brown published several books. The most notable books she published were Stories of Jesus and Mrs. Wang’s Diary. In addition, she wrote letters and articles about her work in China which eventually helped compile a greater picture of the work Canadian nurses did in China. Her writing was particularly helpful in compiling Healing Henan: Canadian Nurses at the North China Mission by Sonya Grypma. She wrote a 1,500 page account of the mission work and titled it History of the North China Mission[4]. Eventually she was appointed to the Christian Literature Society in 1929[5]. Work with Chinese WomenMargaret Brown also did work with Chinese women during her missions. Her most notable accomplishments were opening a girls’ school in 1917[6] and a women’s school in 1921[7]. These schools helped train Chinese nurses. In addition, she founded a publication called The Women’s Star magazine in 1932[8]. The magazine was intended to be for newly literate Chinese women. She was an editor for the magazine in 1941[9]. Spiritual LegacyMargaret Brown’s missionary work also had religious intentions. She taught religious practices and prayers to patients and preached in the wards. Before her medical missionary work she was a religious missionary in North China with the Women’s Society of the Presbyterian Church in Canada[10]. She believed in healing bodies and souls.
