~Laceye Warner, Associate Dean for Academic Formation and Programs, Associate Professor of the Practice of Evangelism and Methodist Studies, Duke University Divinity School

This is the finest work available on one of the most important women in the history of American Christianity.

~Dana L. Robert, Truman Collins Professor of World Christianity and History of Mission, Boston University School of Theology

With fresh eyes, Kendal Mobley has judiciously researched and unearthed new facets of this remarkable woman.

~Molly T. Marshall, President and Professor of Theology and Spiritual Formation, Central Baptist Theological Seminary

Helen Barrett Montgomery does not fit neatly into our contemporary stereotypes of conservative and liberal, or feminist and traditionalist. This well-nuanced study of her life and influence places this incredible woman in the context of her times and presents her as a daring and influential figure in the world Christian movement. Well researched and well written.

~Timothy George, Dean and Professor of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School, Samford University

Mobley's reinterpretation of Montgomery's intellectual and social sphere [makes] Helen Barrett Montgomery a read for historians interested in "New Women" who do now easily fit into preconceived categories.
