The Heathen Woman's Friend was established in June 1869, and published in Boston by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church.[1] Subscriptions ranged from 3,500 in 1869, to 21,000 in 1870, and 92,591 in 1929.[2] During the first five years of publication, the paper focused primarily on India and China.[3] The German language edition, Heiden Frauen Freund, was established in 1885. Harriet Merrick Warren was the periodical's first editor and Louise Manning Hodgkins took over in 1893.[4] The publication was renamed in 1896 to Woman’s Missionary Friend.[5]
