Sarah Grubb (1756 90) was the eldest daughter of William Tuke,
founder of the York Retreat. The Tukes were early members of The
Society of Friends, or Quakers, and in 1779 Sarah became a minister
herself. In this capacity she undertook extensive travels in
Britain, France, Holland and Germany, both with her husband Robert
Grubb and with female companions. Although childless herself, Sarah
had strong views on education and she and her husband also found
time to establish Suir Island Girls' School at their home in
Clonmel, Ireland. Her determined dedication to her vocation,
coupled with her frequent travels, quickly exhausted her and she
died at the age of only thirty-four. The journals she kept were
first published in Dublin in 1792. They are presented woven
together with narrative to bridge gaps, and with extensive
selections from her letters, to form an account of her life and
work.
