Phebe A. Hanaford Book order

Phebe Ann Coffin Hanaford was an extraordinary individual whose life was shaped by her Quaker upbringing on Nantucket and the powerful influence of women who bore daily responsibilities while men were at sea. This fostered a profound independence and a deep trust in her inner voice, leading her to aspire to be a Quaker preacher. Her activism evolved throughout her life, moving from pacifism to abolitionism during the Civil War and embracing the fight for women's rights.
