As an elderly woman in the late seventeenth century,
published at least seven polemical tracts, most of them defending the Quakers. Her work shows her to have been a leader of local public opinion, well schooled in points of law and politics, committed to a search for abstract truth, yet constantly enmeshed in personal animosities.Timeline
