ELIZABETH FRY. THIS distinguished philanthropist and prison reformer was the daughter of John Gurney, of Earlham, Norfolk, and Catherine, his wife, daughter of Daniel Bell, a London merchant. Mrs. Bell was granddaughter of Robert Barclay, the well-known apologist of the Quakers, so that on both sides Elizabeth Fry was descended from families occupying prominent positions in the Society of Friends. The Gurney family is a very ancient one, and can trace an uninterrupted line to the Norman lords of Gournay-en-Brai, in Normandy. From the time of William Rufus, these Norman lords held lands in Norfolk, and their successors still dwell in the county. One of Mrs. Fry's ancestors, John Gurney, espoused the principles of George Fox, and became one of the first members of the Society of Friends. Elizabeth Fry was born at Norwich, on the 21st of May, 1780, but when she was six years of age the family removed to Earlham Hall, a charming property in the centre of a well-wooded park, through which flows the river Wensum, a clear, winding stream. Mr. and Mrs. Gurney were not strict Quakers in garb and speech, and their numerous children were also brought up with more knowledge and enjoyment of the world than is usually the case. Nevertheless, Mrs. Gurney, who was a woman of a noble and beautiful spirit, trained up her daughters in ways of usefulness and wisdom, and in the fear of the Lord. Like her celebrated daughter, it was her earnest desire that when dead she might yet speak, and that others might be stimulated by her example to follow her, as she desired and endeavoured to follow Christ. Her diary shows that she was anxious to give her daughters a wide, intellectual training, including the study of Latin, French, ..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Felicia Hemans was the most widely read woman poet in the nineteenth-century English-speaking world. Broadview’s edition shows why she was one of the few standard poets to be found in middle-class homes on both sides of the Atlantic, despite being routinely disparaged as a “merely” feminine poet. Included here is poetry representative of her entire career, from often-anthologized works, such as “The Homes of England” and “Casabianca,” to several long poems in their entirety, such as “The Forest Sanctuary.” Also included are selections of her prose and letters, a comprehensive introduction, and selections of views and reviews showing her changing and controversial place in culture into the twentieth century. All selections are edited, annotated, and introduced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: USA Today Bestseller Christianity Today 2022 Book Award Finalist (History & Biography) "A powerful work of skillful research and personal insight."--Publishers Weekly Biblical womanhood--the belief that God designed women to be submissive wives, virtuous mothers, and joyful homemakers--pervades North American Christianity. From choices about careers to roles in local churches to relationship dynamics, this belief shapes the everyday lives of evangelical women. Yet biblical womanhood isn't biblical, says Baylor University historian Beth Allison Barr. It arose from a series of clearly definable historical moments. This book moves the conversation about biblical womanhood beyond Greek grammar and into the realm of church history--ancient, medieval, and modern--to show that this belief is not divinely ordained but a product of human civilization that continues to creep into the church. Barr's historical insights provide context for contemporary teachings about women's roles in the church and help move the conversation forward. Interweaving her story as a Baptist pastor's wife, Barr sheds light on the #ChurchToo movement and abuse scandals in Southern Baptist circles and the broader evangelical world, helping readers understand why biblical womanhood is more about human power structures than the message of Christ.
