Was the 18th century really a time of stagnation for Quakerism - quiet, inward-looking and inactive? This course will seek to test this widely-held impression by looking, through a range of sources, at the lives of a wide variety of Quaker women. We will look at the networks that encouraged and supported them and at the elements, both in the world and in the Society of Friends, that impeded them. Are their concerns and experiences still relevant to Quakers today?
