Michèle Sigg is the Executive Director of the Dictionary of African Christian Biography (DACB.org) and Editor of the Journal of African Christian Biography, available online at https://dacb.org/news/journal/. Her research focuses on World Christianity, women’s history, African Christianity and French Protestantism. The DACB, founded in 1995, is an international collaborative digital project documenting the history of Christianity in Africa. The over 2,500 biographies currently on the site represent only a fraction of the leading figures of African Christianity. Among these, women are underrepresented even though they make up the majority of church membership.
