Elizabeth Fry

Elizabeth Fry was born in England in 1780 to an influential family of Quakers. Compared to other Quakers of the time, Elizabeth grew up in an environment that was considered “worldly.” She was heavily influenced by her mother who saw the importance of educating both her sons and daughters and also taught her children the importance of caring for those less fortunate. At the age of nineteen, Fry had a conversion experience and from that point on committed herself completely to observing Quaker traditions. The following year, Elizabeth was married, and she and her husband eventually had eleven children. In 1809 Fry began preaching in Quaker churches, and in 1811, she became a minister. In 1813, a friend suggested she visit a female prison. She was shocked and appalled at the conditions she found. Because of this experience, she began the work she is most well-known for her prison reform. Contrary to popular belief, Fry thought that the women in the prisons should be treated fairly and could be reformed. At this time the general thought was prisons were a place where people needed to be punished not rehabilitated. Most people thought this was the way it should be and nothing could change this system (Galli & Olsen, 2000, p. 286)…

The foundation originally was to create programs but it became more than just a program based prison. In the 1960s women were granted care…

Formerly a cook on the Arabian peninsula, Shaik deftly chops onions, garlic and carrots on his commute home, using office files as a cutting board. And, at last we see Bombay’s Irani cafes, 400-year-old institutions, where people drop in for tea and toast and special dishes. It was the food served in that tiffin box that made the movie so piquant. As much as I rooted for the bored housewife Ila to find true love with…
