Elizabeth Fry was one of the nineteenth century's most
extraordinary women. Born the daughter of a Quaker banker, she was
eighteen when she commandeered a laundry room to begin her own
school. At twenty, she wed Joseph Fry and, over their marriage,
they had eleven children. But a charitable visit to Newgate Prison
would change the course of her life, and of history, forever.
Unable to ignore the plight of the female convicts before her, she
determined to do everything in her power to right the injustices
they faced... By her death, Elizabeth was famous amongst royalty,
parliament and women on the street alike; respected by Queen
Victoria; supporter to William Wilberforce; and influence on
Florence Nightingale. This biography, told with verve and pace, and
interwoven with extracts from Elizabeth's private diaries, will
inspire and move you with the turn of a page.
