- Abstract
The article profiles Priscilla Hunt Cadwalader, with her narrative of injustice specially in marriage and divorce. Cadwalader is a Quaker woman suffering at the hands of the courts and other Quakers due to the failings of her husband. Her life shows the lives and experiences of Quaker women. The tribulations of her marriage and its effect on her ministry reached its climax in the Quaker settlements of the Finger Lakes district of New York where Hicksite Separation in Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends learned how her husband abused her and the response of the Indiana Friends. It notes that considering her life is to do more than reconstruct ancient scandals.
