Levenduski, Christine. "Elizabeth Ashbridge's 'Remarkable Experiences': Creating the Self in a Quaker Personal Narrative," University of Minnesota, July 1989.
Elizabeth Ashbridge, a prominent eighteenth-century Quaker minister, left only one autobiographical record of her extraordinary life. In this narrative, she speaks not only as a Quaker minister, but also as an immigrant, an indentured servant, and a woman of early America. This multivocality makes her story a powerful cultural document that contributes new perspectives in our understanding of cultural pluralism in eighteenth-century America. Working outward from the text, this study uses literary, historical, and visual documents; court records; and material culture to position Ashbridge in the cultural context that informed the creation of herself as a character in her narrative.
