Sarah Mallet was one of the few women authorized by John Wesley as a preacher in early English Methodism. She preached for 55 years, the last of which were marked by opposition to female preachers in her own denomination, until her death at age 82 in 1846.

History
The United Methodist Church was created over 50 years ago when The Evangelical United Brethren Church and The Methodist Church united to form a new denomination.
But the early beginnings of Methodism date back to 1736 when John and Charles Wesley came to the New World to spread the movement they began as students in England.
