America's first appointed woman missionary kept a journal recording her experiences in a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, religiously pluralistic world. Charlotte Atlee White Rowe's 1815-1822 journal recounts her cross-cultural work among Hindus, Muslims, Eurasians, and Europeans in British India. Most of her entries come from her first years and reveal a ministry being shaped by experience and reflection. Charlotte's picture of life along the Hooghly and Ganges rivers includes temple ceremonies, funeral pyres, child marriage, palanquins, food, climate, snakes, schools, clothing and the lack thereof. Revealing that gender bias had delayed her from acting on her call to ministry for nine years, Charlotte's entries contain nuanced thoughts on gender, women in ministry, and the liberation of girls and women through education. This newly located journal was unavailable to previous researchers and this transcription preserves the journal's original character.
