Mildred Cable
Alice Mildred Cable 蓋群英 (21 February 1878 – 30 April 1952) was born in Guildford, she was a British Protestant Christian missionary in China, serving with the China Inland Mission.
==Early life and career==
The daughter of John Cable a prosperous draper in Guildford, Cable early decided to become a missionary and studied pharmacy and human sciences at London University. She was engaged to a man who had also declared his intention to become a missionary, but he changed his mind and said he would not marry her unless she too abandoned her ambition. She broke off the engagement, declined to take her final examination to graduate, and joined the China Inland Mission in 1901, meeting Evangeline (Eva) French who was returning to China following her first home leave. They worked together for the rest of their lives.〔("Women Missionaries." )〕
Cable and French were stationed in Huozhou, Shanxi, and travelled constantly in the surrounding area. Eva's younger sister, Francesca, joined them in 1910 (although some sources say 1908) and they became known as the "trio."〔Anderson, Gerald H. (Biographical Dictionary of Christian Missions ), ISBN 0-8028-4680-7, 1999.〕 After 20 years in Huozhou, they believed that the mission should be turned over to Chinese leaders and the three applied to work in relatively unknown, largely Muslim western China. Although there were doubts that women should be assigned to this region their proposal was finally accepted in 1923.〔Benson, Linda.
