The Woman Who Wouldn't Die: Alma McKibbin

from They Also Served: Stories of Adventist Women · host Adventist Learning Community

As women contributed to the cause of the church in the early 20th century, they faced the challenge of juggling professional and domestic tasks, often caring for multiple generations while providing financial for the family, yet were often paid less - even half as much - as their male counterparts.  Despite working themselves into the ground, women continued to work for the benefit of their church, and Alma McKibbin was one of them. But Alma barely made it out alive.  Thank you to our guest, Laura Wibberding, Assistant Professor of History and Department Chair, Pacific Union College.  Explore More Article | Alma KcKibbin - https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/article?id=AIPT&highlight=Alma|Mckibbin  Book | A manual of lessons in Old Testament history for academic grades, by Alma McKibbin - https://lccn.loc.gov/18003993  Book | "Step by Step: The Story of Alma McKibbin" (1964) - by Alma McKibbin Book | "My Sister Alma and I" (1980) - Alonzo McKibbin Article | Sarah Peck - https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/article?id=AJI9&highlight=sarah|peck  Archive | Pacific Union College Archives - https://library.puc.edu/library/content/heritage/archives-special-collections  Article | The Sandwich Generation - Pew Research - https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2013/01/30/the-sandwich-generation/  This episode discusses Alma McKibbin and Sarah Peck, Jenny Irland, Minnie Sipe, and Alonzo McKibbin.
