Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Syrian School mission established after the Christian massacre of 1860, which the author, a British woman deeply sympathetic to the cause of the victims, was asked to initiate. Despite warnings to return to Europe and the challenges of an unfamiliar culture and antagonistic religious beliefs, the author's deep faith inspired her to found a school system that ultimately brought education to thousands of orphaned girls, changing the role of women in society. The author recounts the obstacles she faced as a single woman working in a male-dominated society and describes the transformative power of educationâ"particularly among the women of Syria. This book offers a unique insight into one of the darkest and yet most inspiring chapters of Middle Eastern history, shedding light on the important role of faith and education in creating lasting peace and changing lives for the better.
