Sally Wolfe

Sarah "Sally" Christine Wolfe (25 December 1885 – 15 July 1975) was a medical missionary who served in China from 1915 to 1951. She came from a devout Methodist family and upon leaving Ireland, became part of the Methodist Missionary Society. When she arrived in China, Wolfe joined the Jubilee Women's hospital at the English Wesleyan Mission in Hankou, where she worked among other European missionaries and ran Bible classes for women and children.

Wolfe's time in China was marked by much political strife, as she arrived four years after the Chinese Revolution of 1911 and witnessed the Chinese Civil War, which began in 1927. In 1951, after serving her mission for nearly forty years, Sally Wolfe left China due to strong xenophobia towards foreign missionaries and conflict between Communists and the Kuomintang (Chinese Nationalist Party).
