Elizabeth Bathurst

EB , writing late in the seventeenth century, was one of the most popular women writers to be published by the Sowle Press , the best-known Quaker publishing house. Her three publications (dating from a period of struggle for the Quakers) were collected and re-issued after her early death to make up a fourth. They include theological analysis, religious exhortation, and feminist enumeration of women's words from the Bible.
