Larson, Rebecca Darlene. "'Public Friends': Quaker Women Travelling Ministers, 1700-1775," Department of the History of American Civilization, Harvard University, June 1993. Advisor: Bernard Bailyn
This study of eighteenth-century Quaker women who travelled in the ministry is a social history. The dissertation examines how Friends’ theological principles, which stressed transcendence of gender, translated into the daily lives of eighteenth-century Quaker women preachers. The subject group consists of women ministers who crossed the Atlantic on religious service between 1700 and 1775 from England, Ireland, and the American colonies. The women ministers’ biographies are reconstructed from Quaker meeting records, journals, correspondence, wills, estate inventories, tax lists, colonial newspapers, and the women’s published writings.
