    Abstract
    The contribution of women to Christian missions tends to disappear in mission historiography that is focused on the allocated roles of missionaries. Looking through the eyes of male narrators at a range of Protestant and Catholic missions in different parts of Australia we can, however, decipher a pattern of the fundamental and largely unstated importance of the presence of women as knitters of family and providers of care and compassion.The contribution of women to Christian missions tends to disappear in mission historiography that is focused on the allocated roles of missionaries.
