Quaker Women

Emotional Life, Memory, And Radicalism In The Lives Of Women Friends, 1800-1920

BY SANDRA STANLEY HOLTON

Brief Description:
In 1839 Elizabeth Priestman married the British Quaker politician John Bright. A collection of personal and public papers has surfaced that reveals the lives of their circle, women Friends active in radical politics and the women's movement. The book examines the building of extensive Quaker networks working for change; the relationship between Quaker religious values and women's participation in civil society and radical politics and the women's rights movement. There are also fresh perspectives on the political career of John Bright, provided by his fond but frank women kin.
