About This Book

A biographical narrative reconstructs the life, travels, and writings of an early female Quaker preacher and one of George Fox's first converts. Using letters, parish records, and contemporary notices, it follows her itinerant ministry in England, two missions to New England where she faced hostility, later journeys, and final years, while documenting imprisonments and local interactions. The volume compiles correspondence, tracts, illustrations, and appendices on family and regional archives to present a cohesive account of her public ministry and the communities she influenced.
