“Susan and Lily”. Portrait of indigenous woman and child at the doorway of a building, the woman sits and the little girl stands next to her holding a western style doll with a porcelain head. The Women’s Association of Foreign Missions (WAFM) arrived in the Punjab in 1888 and was particularly involved in the education of women. They set up girls’ schools and participated in zenanas work where missionaries went to the homes of women and educated them in the apartments, or rooms, to which they were restricted.
