Synopsis

"There is material here for anyone interested in women's history, Quaker history, or the history of the seventeenth century in any aspect. And there is Margaret Fell herself, cantankerous indeed on occasion, a great family matriarch, the power behind George Fox and James Nayler in the first days of Quakerism, obstinate and defiant in her trial and imprisonment, exemplar and supporter of women's part in the Quaker meetings, and a voice of authority among Quakers to the end of the century. It is good that her authentic voice is now being heard."

---Rosemary Moore, Author
The Light in Their Consciences:
Fath, Practices, and Personalities
In Early British Quakerism, 1646-1666
Includes Glossary, Index, Scriptural References, Maps, and Generations family tree.
