Sarah Mallett
Sarah Mallet was one of the very small group of women authorised by John Wesley to become a preacher, in the early days of Methodism.
After Wesley's death, she married, and as Sarah Boyce, she continued to preach for another forty years - despite the ban on female preaching, imposed by the Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1803. She lived in Norfolk, England, and preached widely around the county. After the death of her husband she travelled with another female preacher which enabled her to preach both in London and Birmingham.
Further details are available in her biography, 'My Dear Sally' by Rev David East.
