American Goddess at the Rape of Nanking: The Courage of Minnie Vautrin is a biographical book about American missionary Minnie Vautrin and her experience of the Nanking Massacre in 1937–1938. Written by historian Hua-ling Hu and published in 2000, the book recounts how Vautrin saved thousands of lives of women and children during the Nanking Massacre.[1] One notable source material for the book consists of diaries that Vautrin kept during the massacre, which was discovered by author Iris Chang during the research for her book, The Rape of Nanking.[2]
