抄録

The Women's Foreign Missionary Association of Friends of Philadelphia (the WFMA) was founded in 1882 and started its Japan mission in 1885. It was formed under the influence of the women's foreign mission movement that arose after the Civil War. The motive that drove non-pastoral Quakers into establishing a foreign missionary organization was the somewhat humanitarian purpose of improving the status of heathen women by Christianity. This paper introduces the context in which the WFMA was established, and then examines with its own archives how its members related their project to Quaker teachings.
