Stephen W. Angell is Leatherock Professor of Quaker Studies at the Earlham School of Religion. His most recent books are Martha Simmons: A Life, (Brill Press), and Global Quakerism, 1938-2018, co-edited with Ben Pink Dandelion and David Watt,  (Penn State University Press). The celebration of the 400th birthday of George Fox in 2024 got Steve to wondering what areas of Quaker history in the 1650s might need more attention. The biography of Simmons (also 400 in 2024) was one result.
