Review Quotes:
"An impressively researched biography, Our Beloved Friend makes a case for the historical importance of Anne Emlen Mifflin on her own terms, as both a Public Friend and an activist. Her life offers important context for eighteenth-century ideas about and experiences of non-Quaker women. It is also a useful meditation on how 'ordinary' people navigated pivotal historical events as well as the moral and ethical complexities of early American society, economy, and politics."
--Sarah Crabtree, author of Holy Nation: The Transatlantic Quaker Ministry in an Age of Revolution
