The Trio - remembered best by secular feminists

Virago Press keeps alive one of the greatest stories of women missionaries, now all but lost to evangelicals.

Hardly known for its love of Christian truth, Virago republished The Gobi Desert by Mildred Cable and Francesca French in the mid 1980s, and has included an excerpt from that in its Book of Women Travellers.

I am reminded of a conversation with Peter Lewis and Elizabeth Catherwood two years ago. Both felt someone ought to research a new biography of 'The Trio' (Mildred Cable and Francesca and Eva French). I resonate deeply with that. Let the story of their inspirational lives be known by this generation. It is certainly known in heaven.
