| Summary: | The history of Pentecostalism is embodied in the lives and activities of individuals often marginalized by their societies. Particularly, women have often served as pioneers and catalysts for the growth of this religious movement. Despite their pivotal role and visible presence, Pentecostal women continue to be omitted in the history of Pentecostalism. The case study of Myrtle Viola Whitehead provides historical recovery of a female evangelist and church planter in early Pentecostalism. Reading her testimonies, ministerial records, and songs inspires a second look at the task of Pentecostal history. |
