Betsy: The Dramatic Biography of Prison Reformer Elizabeth Fry
Jean Hatton has written a remarkable story of a courageous, crusading woman of the nineteenth century. She has given us an in-depth picture of the life of women in the England of that era, as well as a fine portrait of this remarkable, unflappable woman. The reader cannot help but have a great sympathy and admiration for Betsy Fry, who gave so much of herself to bring about prison reform for her generation of women. (Ruth G.
