Women In History
Susanna Wesley (1669–1742)
Susanna Wesley was a devoted Christian wife, mother, and teacher whose faith influenced generations.
She was the mother of 19 children, although only 10 survived to adulthood.
Two of her sons, John and Charles Wesley, became influential Christian leaders.
Despite financial struggles, family hardships, and the demands of motherhood, Susanna remained committed to God.
