Based on sources from the Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian branches of the KMA, this article focuses on how the mission—evangelization, healing, and welfare—was practiced by a Scandinavian female missionary working for the pietistic, German “Deutscher Hülfsbund für Christliche Liebeswerk im Orient”, in the Ottoman Empire from 1905 to 1914. A central issue for the Scandinavian Women’s Mission Workers was the plight of girls and women. In Protestant mission ideology and rhetoric in general, Non-Christian women were to be included in what was perceived as the collective of Christian, liberated women. This was a result of the Evangelical belief in all women’s right to salvation and the corresponding spiritual equality of men and women. How did Biørn include local women’s plight in her vocation? What resonance did the Protestant emphasis on women’s work for women have in Armenian society?
