Elizabeth Fry, Prison and Social Reformer

Elizabeth (Betsy) Fry, 1780-1845) was an English prison reformer and social reformer. Called the "angel of prisons," Fry was a driving force behind new legislation to make the treatment of prisoners more humane. She was supported in her efforts by Queen Victoria; Frederick William IV of Prussia met her and was an admirer of her reforms. As a Quaker, she campaigned for the abolition of the slave trade. She established homeless shelters and visiting societies that helped the poor in their homes, a practice which spread across Britain. In 1840, Fry opened a training school for nurses. Her program inspired Florence Nightingale, who took a team of Fry's nurses to assist wounded soldiers in the Crimean War. Fry was depicted on the Bank of England £5 note from 2001–2016. Color photogravure after G. Richmond, 1843.
