Elizabeth Fry: A Biography by
June Rose
First published in 1980 by Macmillan London Ltd.
Even during her own lifetime that remarkable woman Elizabeth Fry aroused hostility as well as admiration. Quakers found her ‘worldliness’ disquieting; her fellow penal reformers disapproved of her unorthodox ways; her family felt neglected. Elizabeth Fry herself was tortured by self-doubt and torn by conflicting demands.
In this biography, based on Elizabeth Fry’s unexpurgated journals, June Rose removes the ‘saint’ from her pedestal to show her as she really was – complex, contradictory, but courageously defying the conventions of her age
June Rose is also the author of
Modigliani: The Pure Bohemian and
Marie Stopes and the Sexual Revolution
