'''Elizabeth Glendinning Kirkwood Hewat''' (1895-1968) was the first woman to graduate BD and PhD at New College, University of Edinburgh, a missionary, a campaigner for women's equality in the Church of Scotland, and an historian of Scottish missions. |
|||
== Life and career == |
|||
Hewat was born on the 16th of September 1895 in [[Prestwick, Scotland]] to Elizabeth Glendinning and the Rev. Kirkwood Hewat, the United Free Church minister at Prestwick.<ref name=":0">{{cite book|last1=Ewan|first1=Elizabeth L.|last2=Innes|first2=Sue|last3=Reynolds|first3=Sian|last4=Pipes|first4=Rose|title=The Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women|date=2006|publisher=Edinburgh University Press|location=Edinburgh|isbn=978-0-7486-2660-1|pages=166-7|accessdate=2 November 2016}}</ref> Her education began at the girls' school [[Wellington School, Ayr|Wellington School]] in [[Ayr, Scotland|Ayr]] and she went on to gain an MA at the [[University of Edinburgh]] in history and philosophy.<ref name=":0" /> |
|||
Her first academic position was as assistant lecturer in history at the University of St Andrews. She then moved to the UFC Women's Missionary College in Edinburgh where she taught between 1922 and 1926.<ref name=":0" /> In Edinburgh, she was one of the first women to study at New College and became the first woman to graduate BD from the college in 1926, coming top of her class.<ref>{{cite web|title=Steps towards equality in New College Library Class Photographs|url=http://libraryblogs.is.ed.ac.uk/newcollegelibrarian/2016/09/22/steps-towards-equality-in-new-college-library-class-photographs/|website=New College Librarian|accessdate=2 November 2016}}</ref> |
|||
Hewat believed that in order to fully prepare for missionary work that she should be ordained by the church. This led to a debate on women's ordination during the 1926 United Free Church General Assembly, however, the motion was not passed. Hewat continued to argue for women's equality in the Christian church, writing in 1931, 'women in the church hold a subordinate position; and women of today ask why ... Of one thing they are certain, and it is this, that it is not Christ who is barring the way.'<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Hewat|first1=Elizabeth|journal=Life and Work|date=April 1931|volume=16}}</ref> |
|||
Despite the refusal of ordination, Hewat began her missionary work by joining her sister in China.<ref name=":0" /> Once there, she was a teaching missionary and followed her own scholarly interests by researching comparative literature in Hebrew and Confucian Wisdom. Following her time in China, she returned to Edinburgh to work as an unpaid assistant at North Merchiston Church and to complete her PhD at the University of Edinburgh. |
|||
In 1935, she moved to Mumbai to become Professor of History at [[Wilson College, Mumbai|Wilson College]] and remained there until 1956.<ref name=":0" /> She was an elder in the United Church of North India. |
|||
After her return to Scotland, Hewat died on the 13th of October 1968 in Edinburgh and was buried in Comely Bank Cemetary.<ref>{{cite web|title=Elizabeth Hewat|url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=99231822|website=Find a Grave|accessdate=2 November 2016}}</ref> |
