Letters from Egypt to Plain Folks at Home
Whately, Mary L. [Mary Louisa Whately (August 31, 1824 - March 9, 1889) was an English missionary and author in Egypt. She spent over 30 years building schools for both girls and boys, ministering to their families and writing books based on her experiences. She was the first person to build educational facilities for the lower classes in Cairo, especially Muslim women, and started schooling for all, rather than only for those who could pay for it].
