Li Tim-Oi was a Hong Kong-born Anglican priest who made history in 1944 as the first woman to receive ordination to the priesthood within the Anglican Communion. Born in British Hong Kong, she served refugees in Macau and Hong Kong during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Due to the wartime blockade, she was initially permitted to administer sacraments before her formal ordination by Bishop Ronald Hall. Following her service, she faced significant persecution in mainland China during the mid-20th century before eventually moving to Canada.
