Overview
Women have always been an important part of Christian history and this is especially true in Adventist history. Women were the backbone of the development of Adventism, beginning with the Second Great Awakening, the Millerite movement. One of the three co-founders of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Ellen G. White, was a woman and there were many influential early Adventist leaders who similarly took a wide range of roles within the fledgling denomination. This honor will help educate the church about the diverse and influential roles of women in our Adventist past.
