Elizabeth Fry 

(1780 - 1845)

Elizabeth Fry was a

Quaker ( 贵格会教徒 , 属 于基督教派 , 废除礼仪 ,

反对暴力和战争 ) who be

came famous for her work to reform th

e prison system in Britain in the early n

ineteenth century.

By her example she inspired other

women to play a fuller role in society: it

was unusual for women to have a voice

outside the home. It was also unusual for

a Quaker to be so prominent, because at

that time the Quaker movement was

going through a 'quietist' phase, and was

very inward looking.

In 1780 Elizabeth

Gurney was born in

Norwich into a rich

Quaker family.

Elizabeth was well educated, which

was unusual for a girl in those days.

She helped her mother when she

visited the poor and sick.

Later, although Elizabeth had 11

children, she continued to do her

charity work.

She first visited Newgate Prison in

1813 and was horrified by what she

saw.

There were over 300 women and

children crowded into a very small

space.

Elizabeth returned with warm

clothing and straw for the sick women

and children.

Prisoners had to pay for everything

in gaol ( 监狱 ).

There were no toilets, just a bucket in

the corner, and little drinking water.

Children were sent to prison for stealing bread, wool or for damaging trees.

Punishments for rich people were

very different from those for poor

people.

In 1817 Elizabeth organised a group

to help female prisoners at Newgate

prison.

She provided items for the women

so they could sew, knit and make

goods to sell.

She started a prison school for the

children to give them something to do.

In 1818 Elizabeth was asked to spea

k to people in Parliament about the pri

sons.

The 1823 Gaol Act was passed by

Parliament, and some improvements

were made.

Elizabeth visited prisons all over

Britain and argued for improvements.

She wrote a book about prison conditions.

She helped improve conditions on

prison ships travelling to Australia.

Prisoners were no longer chained to

the decks during the voyage.

Elizabeth Fry also set up a training

course for nurses.

Elizabeth Fry continued to help

others until she died on 12 October

1845.

Read the article quickly and find

the answers to these questions:

1. How did the women prisoners live?

They were being treated like animals.

They had no beds, clean clothes, food

or heating. Any child born in prison

had to stay there and had no chance of

receiving an education.

2. What did Elizabeth Fry do to help

them?

She provided food, clean clothes and

straw for beds. Later she began a

prison school for the children and

taught the women to sew, knit and

make goods to sell. And later she was

asked to go to the leaders of Britain to

discuss how to improve the conditions

for prisoners.

3. What’s the result of her effort?

There are three results. One is that the

women prisoners got some self-respect

and improved their conditions for

themselves. The second is that her

deeds influent some other women to

join in the activity to help the women

prisoners. The last one and also the

most important one is that in 1947,

after she died long time, the Quakers

were given the Nobel Peace Prize.
