Nash, 1933–2021 Cynthia Shelton IndexReviews“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 “Our Beloved Friend provides an example of a strong-willed and intellectually-engaged woman. The compelling narrative of Mifflin’s life is expertly presented and supported with extensive background and by her writings that include multiple genres, such as poetry, spiritual autobiography, travel narrative, diary entries, commonplace books, letters, and prose.” —Susan Imbarrato,author of Sarah Gray Cary from Boston to Grenada: Shifting Fortunes of an American Family, 1764-1826 “An impressive work of seminal scholarship.” —Midwest Book Review 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.
