The first full-length biography of Phebe Hanaford (1829-1921) takes
the reader from her Quaker childhood on Nantucket Island to her
remaining years on the mainland where both religious and marital
restrictions fail to confine her. Her success as an author brings
financial independence that allows her the religious choice of
ordination as a Universalist minister and the personal choice of
Ellen Miles as her companion of forty-four years. Rev. Hanaford
unites her twenty-year ministry with the woman's rights movement
while facing the criticism known in her church as the "woman
issue." Following the death of Ellen Miles in 1902, Phebe becomes
the victim of exploitation and neglect by family members who in
1921 bury her in an unmarked grave. Two decades of isolation
prematurely removes Phebe Hanaford from public life. Now with a
marker on her grave, documented sources and oral family history
tell her story and restores Phebe Hanaford to her rightful place in
women's history.
