Mildred Cable
"Narrative biography of Mildred Cable, British Christian missionary who served with China Inland Mission from 1902 to 1936, first in the interior of China and later in the Gobi Desert"--
Star Over Gobi
Originally published: London: Lutterworth Press, 1957.
Across China's Gobi
In the 1920s three adventurous and determined British women missionaries traveled along the traces of China's old Silk Road to "gossip the Gospel" in the Muslim regions of northwestern China. But as this ground-breaking biography of Mildred Cable and the sisters Eva and Francesca French illustrates, their mission service was only one aspect of these three unconventional women's lives. As members of the China Inland Mission, they advocated equality for women in mission service; in their varied writings they denounced the British opium trade; and on home leaves they wrote and published books that, in their lifetimes, brought them wide acclaim as adventurous travelers, authors and popular public speakers. Ultimately, the collaboration between Francesca French and Mildred Cable produced over 20 books, including Mildred Cable's renowned travel classic, The Gobi Desert. In this detailed and carefully researched account, Linda Benson reveals three extraordinary lives and provides new insight into role of European women in the China mission field, the impact of warlord politics in Gansu and Xinjiang, and the lives of Muslim women in the far northwest.

"The book also features cross-references throughout, a bibliography accompanying each entry, an elaborate appendix listing biographies according to particular categories of interest, and a comprehensive index."--BOOK JACKET.
Three Women
"A personal story of the remarkable partnership of Mildred Cable, Eva and Francesca French which took them from work amongst Chinese women, lasting twenty years, to a fifteen year trek extending over thousands of miles through China's 'pan-handle'---the Kansu Corridor---into the scattered oasis settlements of the Gobi desert of little known Central Asia. The 'Trio' shared the common lot of Tungans, Turkis, Kazaks and Buriats. They lived in wayside inns and peasant homes, moving on to the famous Caves of Tunhwang, everywhere presenting the Christian Gospel to spiritually hungry Tibetans, Mongolian nomads and Chinese immigrants."--Dust jacket flap.
