Summary
Mary Alexander (1760-1809) was born at Needham Market, Suffolk into a Quaker family of lower middle class. Her father, Dykes Alexander, was a Quaker elder and her mother, Martha Biddle, a Quaker minister. Alexander was one of six children. She became a Quaker Religionist aged 17 and received permission to preach at the age of 23, 'determining henceforth to forsake all 'unprofitable reading' and stay with the Bible'. The narrative begins with her childhood, and relates her life as a travelling Quaker minister, and her lifelong spiritual introspection.
