Mary Mendenhall Hobbs

RantWoman answered the call. Adult Religious Education this month is doing a whirlwind one-month tour of Quaker women in history. RantWoman has been asked to present about Mary Mendenhall Hobbs, a figure from North Carolina Yearly Meeting about whom, prior to a Saturday night internet binge, RantWoman knew NOTHING.

Whether or now RantWoman now knows enough to set the framework or at least to hold her own until the presentation whizzes on to someone else is shortly going to be in God's hands.
