Review # 1 was written on 2015-11-16 00:00:00 Bart Dudley This was an interesting portrait of Elizabeth Fry. The author made the effort to write it from primary sources, most importantly Elizabeth's unedited journals. This gave a much more rounded picture of her than the sanitized version from the version of her journals edited by her daughters. It is inspiring how much energy she had. Many women today will relate to the tension between family and career, although of course the majority of us do neither to the same extent as her. The book also taught me a lot about Quakerism. The only negatives are the book can sometimes get repetitive. The author could probably have trimmed some of the travel details, because the trips started to blur into each other for me. She also repeated some of her points about Elizabeth's character more often than necessary. Overall I enjoyed reading it though.
