Evangeline French
Evangeline Frances "Eva" French 馮貴珠 (Alternative name: Feng Guizhu 馮貴珠) (1869-8 July 1960) was a British Protestant Christian missionary in China. She served with the China Inland Mission (CIM).
==Early life and career==
Evangeline was born in Algeria, the eldest daughter of an English couple, John Erington French and his first cousin Frances Elizabeth French. Eva was educated at a secondary school in Geneva, Switzerland. When the family later returned to England, Eva apparently disliked the rigid and provincial Victorian society. She described herself as "the fervid nihilist, the incipient communist, the embryonic Bolshevist." It surprised her family when she became a Christian and applied to become a mssionary for the CIM.〔 ("Women Missionaries." ), accessed 15 Apr 2011〕 The missionary society initially found her too unconventional in education and overly fashionable in dress, but finally accepted her.〔Benson, Linda, "Muslims, Missionaries and Warlords in Northwestern China." ''Oakland University Journal.'' Fall 1901, pp. 13-14〕 She was assigned to the Shanxi mission.
After seven years at her station the Boxer Rebellion in summer 1900 forced her to flee China. She returned to China in 1902. At her mission station of Huozhou 霍州, Shanxi, she formed a lifelong partnership with Alice Mildred Cable who had recently arrived. She was joined by her younger sister Francesca French in 1908, after their mother had died.〔(Biography at the Ricci Roundtable )〕
Cable and the French sisters traveled constantly in the surrounding area. 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.
