Summary "An Englishwoman's Twenty-Five Years in Tropical Africa: Being the Biography of Gwen Elen Lewis, Missionary to the Cameroons and the Congo" by George Hawker is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the life and work of Gwen Elen Lewis, who dedicated a significant part of her life to missionary work in Africa, notably the Cameroons and the Congo. The narrative likely focuses on her experiences, challenges, and the impact of her mission in tropical Africa. The opening of the text introduces readers to Gwen Elen Thomas, detailing her early life in London and her aspirations to serve as a missionary. It provides background on her family and the influential figures in her life, especially her father’s struggles and her strong Christian upbringing. The text elaborates on her childhood, her education, the influence of notable teachers, and her burgeoning interest in missionary work, setting the stage for her later endeavors in Africa, marked by dedication and challenges she would face in remote and often perilous settings.
