Excellent Women is a curated collection of biographical sketches celebrating the lives, faith, and service of remarkable Christian women. Originally compiled by the Religious Tract Society in London during the late 1800s, this volume offers concise, inspiring portraits of individuals whose lives embodied devotion, social reform, leadership, and spiritual depth. From early chapters about Elizabeth Fry — the Quaker philanthropist and prison reformer — to profiles of Susanna Wesley, Hannah More, Frances Ridley Havergal, Ann Judson, and others, the compilation presents a diversity of characters united by their moral conviction and impact on society. Each biography sketches the subject's upbringing, spiritual journey, challenges faced, and their enduring legacy. The writing is accessible yet dignified, suitable for general readers interested in religious history, women's biographies, Christian witness, or Victorian-era ministry. While not a modern critical biography, Excellent Women serves as an evocative introduction to lives lived with purpose—an encouragement for readers seeking models of faith in action.
