The aim of this paper is to explore the role of Mennonite missionary women in Argentina since their arrival in the country in 1917 until the 1960s. These women are part of the missionary efforts of urban Mennonites from USA that gave origin to the Iglesia Evangélica Menonita Argentina (IEMA - Argentine Mennonite Evangelical Church).
