She was the first woman ordained as a Universalist minister in newly-released England and the first woman to serve as chaplain to the Connecticut General Assembly.”Not positive the year, but between 1882 and 1900 I’d say. Showing no date, I’m apt to assume it’s a first edition/first printing. Can’t be sure.
