In July 1900 she and her husband Edwin Conger\u2014the American ambassador to China\u2014survived a siege of Peking\u2019s foreign quarter when the anti-imperialist Boxers, supported by Imperial troops, descended on the city for 55 days. Despite the conflict, Sarah Conger developed a strong relationship with China\u2019s leader, the Empress Dowager Cixi. Although the Western media vilified Conger, her prayerful approach ultimately led to improved educational opportunities for Chinese women. Through it all, she corresponded with Mary Baker Eddy. Dorothy Rivera, Research Manager at the Library, shares Conger\u2019s story, along with former Library fellow \u00c1ine Poland. And Ann Scott Tyson, <i>The Christian Science Monitor<\/i>\u2019s Beijing Bureau Chief, discusses the importance of this historical period for modern-day China.<\/p>\n<p><b>Access more on this topic:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marybakereddylibrary.org\/research\/women-of-history-sarah-pike-conger\/\"><b>Women of History: Sarah Pike Conger<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/journal.christianscience.com\/shared\/view\/vl52vy2k2m?s=copylink\"><b>\u201cChristian Science And China\u201d <\/b><\/a><b>by Mary Baker Eddy, Sarah Pike Conger with contributions from Iac.

This episode gives special attention to Sperry, who was Dr. Braude\u2019s grandmother, as well as a Christian Scientist for whom spirituality and art were completely interconnected. Her religious faith conjoined with her study under the famed art teacher Hans Hofmann. She also purchased Jackson Pollock\u2019s last painting in a special effort to learn from it.
