{"product_id":"elizabeth-fry-quaker-heroine-richard-pearson-9780244243746","title":"Elizabeth Fry Quaker Heroine","description":"Elizabeth Fry often referred to as Betsy, was an English prison reformer. Fry was a major driving force behind new legislation to make the treatment of prisoners more humane, and she was supported in her efforts by Queen Victoria. Fry kept extensive and revealing diaries. Elizabeth Fry also helped the homeless, establishing a \"nightly shelter\" in London after seeing the body of a young boy in the winter of 1819\/1820. In 1824, during a visit to Brighton, she instituted the Brighton District Visiting Society.[6] The society arranged for volunteers to visit the homes of the poor and provide help and comfort to them. The plan was successful and was duplicated in other districts and towns across Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Pearson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0244243743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780244243746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.76d","brand":"Richard Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127605162239,"sku":"9780244243746","price":29.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f86e89a0-a658-4786-9af8-c2f6937ae6ac.jpg?v=1687454235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elizabeth-fry-quaker-heroine-richard-pearson-9780244243746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
