Henrietta Soltau (8 December 1843 5 February 1934) was a British evangelist and promoter of missionary work. In 1889 she set up a training facility for women who wanted to be missionaries for the China Inland Mission. Soltau had wanted to be a missionary herself but her health was not considered sufficient. However she did set out in 1897 and spent over a year in a visit to China. She retired in 1916 from training missionaries who went to many parts of the world and 547 were to assist the CIM. Soltau continued to support the CIM in her retirement as Chair of the women's council. She died in 1934, and this book was published later the same year.
