The Christian Woman's Board of Missions (CWBM) was a missionary organization associated with the Restoration Movement.[1] It was the first such group managed entirely by women.[1] It hired both men and women, and supported both domestic and foreign missions.[1] HistoryThe Christian Woman's Board of Missions was created by the American Christian Missionary Society on October 21, 1874.[1] It was a grassroots organization intended to serve women and children worldwide.[1] While many members also supported other 19th century causes such as temperance and suffrage, "CWBM was the 'grand passion' in the lives of many nineteenth- and twentieth-century Christian Church women."[1] The CWBM's first mission was in Jamaica, where Dr. and Mrs. W.H. Williams were sent in 1876.[1] The first missionary who was a single woman, Jennie Laughlin, was sent in 1876.[1] India became the major focus of the CWBM's overseas efforts, which included evangelistic efforts focusing on women and children, as well as building a variety of social service facilities such as schools, hospitals and orphanages.[1] The organization was particularly effective, both at home and abroad, in reaching women and children in settings where it would be difficult or impossible for men to go.[1] The CWBM merged with several other organizations in 1919 to form the United Christian Missionary Society.[1][2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Douglas Allen Foster and Anthony L.
