Publisher's Synopsis
A Brief Memoir of Elizabeth Fry is a book written by Elizabeth Fry herself, detailing her life and work as a Quaker philanthropist and social reformer in 19th century England. Fry was known for her efforts to improve the conditions of prisons and to advocate for better treatment of prisoners, particularly women and children. She also worked to promote education, healthcare, and religious instruction for the poor and disadvantaged. In this memoir, Fry recounts her childhood, her marriage and family life, and her various philanthropic endeavors, including her work in prisons and her travels to other countries to promote social reform. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of one of the most influential social reformers of her time, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of social justice and philanthropy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
