Elizabeth Fry - A Quaker Life

Selected Letters And Writings

EDITED BY GIL SKIDMORE

Brief Description:
This book focuses on how Elizabeth Fry's Quaker Faith inspired her work for prison reform and her life, leading her to see the light within the impoverished and imprisoned. With Elizabeth Fry: A Quaker Life noted Quaker historian Gil Skidmore has brought together Fry's essential writings--some previously unpublished--from her journals, letters, and published work into a single volume. The result is a rich portrait of the struggles and anxieties behind the public persona of this "Quaker saint."
