Committee on Christian Literature for Women and Children in Mission Fields, Inc.

The Committee on Christian Literature for Women and Children in Mission Fields, Inc. was formed in 1912 under the sponsorship of the Federation of Women's Boards of Foreign Missions. Its goal was to provide Christian literature to women and children overseas. In the first fifty years of its existence the Committee supported 27 magazines, 9 of which were originated by the Committee. Beginning in the 1940s, the Committee began to make grants for literacy projects as well. The Committee had an increasingly cooperative relationship with the Committee on World Literacy and Christian Literature (formed in 1942 by the Foreign Missions Conference of North America) and with its successor, the Intermedia Committee of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. In 1989 the Committee on Christian Literature for Women and Children in the Mission Fields ceased to exist as a separate entity and became a Standing Committee for Women and Children within Intermedia.
