George and Margaret Fox

By William King Baker

"George and Margaret Fox" is an insightful biographical study of the lives and spiritual legacies of the two most prominent figures in the founding of the Religious Society of Friends. W. King Baker offers a detailed look into the partnership between George Fox, the visionary leader of the Quaker movement, and Margaret Fox, whose organizational brilliance and steadfast faith earned her the title of the "Mother of Quakerism."

The work traces George Fox's journey from his early spiritual awakenings to his role as a radical reformer who emphasized the presence of the "Inner Light" in every individual. Parallel to his story is that of Margaret Fell, whose home at Swarthmoor Hall became a vital center for the movement. The narrative explores their shared commitment to religious liberty and their endurance through periods of intense persecution and imprisonment. By focusing on their personal correspondence and public testimonies, "George and Margaret Fox" provides a comprehensive view of how their union fortified the Quaker faith during its formative years. This book is a significant historical resource for understanding the development of nonconformist Christianity and the influential role of these two pioneering reformers.
