Annie Ryder Gracey

Annie Ryder Gracey (née, Ryder; pen name, Mrs. J. T. Gracey; November 4, 1836 – February 17, 1908) was an American author and missionary of the long nineteenth century. She wrote two books based on her travels, Eminent Missionary Women and Woman's Medical Work in Mission Fields. The history of the literature produced by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was closely linked with Gracey, who served as chairman of the committee on literature, and created missionary literature for the Society.
