Abstract
[This issue of the Journal of African Christian Biography is the second installment of our 2020 women-themed issues and the second to offer bilingual content. Whereas the January issue focused on early female pioneers of African Christianity in the Kongo Kingdom and in Ethiopia, this one jumps to the twentieth century to direct its lens at the lives of two women who had but a short time to leave their lasting legacy. Their biographies open an intimate window into the ways in which we can experience history as lament or as laugh—and sometimes as a bit of both.]
