I am interested in women who were Christians but also reformers in such
areas as abolition of slavery, suffrage for women/Blacks, improving
mental health institutions, prisons, abolishing child labor, etc.

Determine which period interests you then get thee to a library. You might
start with bios of people like Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Susan B.
Anthony, Carrie Nation, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Amelia Bloomer and Eleanor
Roosevelt, then mine the indexes and sources to enlarge the list.
