‎Quakers Women Colonial America Lightfoot Susanna‎

‎An Account of the Life of Susanna Lightfoot Quaker Minister Written on the Occasion of Her Death in 1781‎

‎Uwchlan Pennsylvania 1781. 7.5 x 12 inches six pages one leaf torn at fold else about fine. Overall very good. Susanna Lightfoot 1720–1781 was born Susanna Hudson in Grange County Antrim Ireland to English Quaker parents. From the start Quakerism had allowed women to speak at meetings—to minister—and Lightfoot began to do so at 17 while she was employed as a servant for wealthy fellow Quaker Ruth Courtney. Lightfoot became known for her ministry and traveled around Colonial America and the United Kingdom and between the continents ministering at various meetings. She lived most of her life in poverty supported by the charity of Friends before her death in 1781 following a lengthy illness. Offered here is a short biography of Susanna Lightfoot that was presented at the Uwchlan Monthly Meeting following her death.<br /> <br /> The biography describes a young Lightfoot as traveling “many Miles on foot to†meetings around Ireland as “such was her love to the truth and Zealâ€. At these meetings:<br /> <br /> “She has frequently been heard to speak of with tenderness of Spirit for the encouragement of Servants and others in low Circumstances; and that the Rich and full who have horses to ride on and blest both with the necessaries and conveniences of life might prize their time and priviledges; and bring forth fruits adaquate to the favours confered on them in this once highly favoured Country.â€<br /> <br /> In 1737 she came to America with Ruth Courtney to minister with Uwchlan as one of their stops: the biography notes that “some of us have cause to Remember her and the sweetness of her spirit at that time.†After a little over a year the pair traveled back over the Atlantic and Lightfoot ministered around England Wales and Scotland. Lightfoot married Joseph Hatton in 1742 and the two attempted to open a store in Lisburn but could not keep up with the store and raise their children. They moved to Lurgan living on a Friend’s lease and taking charity from the local Quaker community. They were then invited to live in Waterford where their financial situation improved somewhat until Hatton’s death in 1759.1 Following his death Lightfoot received the approval of the London elders to return to America:<br /> <br /> “And in the Year 1760 in the Constraining love of Truth she entered on a Second visit to America . which concern she not only laid before her friends at home . but in a Sollid affecting manner moved the same in the Yearly Meeting of Ministers and Elders in London and had their Sympathy and unity expressed by Certificate.â€<br /> <br /> On this trip she would meet Thomas Lightfoot and the two would marry back in Ireland. Also on this trip she is credited with attending the Treaty of Easton—an agreement during the French and Indian War between the British and Native Americans—and with ministering to a group of Native Americans led by the chief Papunahung.2 In 1764 the Lightfoots settled for good in Pennsylvania joining the Uwchlan Monthly Meeting. Her ministry began to take a darker tone as the 1770s progressed:<br /> <br /> “Cloathed of the Lord with dignity and Zeal she at divers meetings previous to the breaking forth of the present calimity had in an Aweful manner to proclaim the Approaching of a stormy day which would shake the sandy foundations of men and many of the formal professors in our Society should be blown away as by the breath of his holy Nostrils which has since been lamentably fulfill’d on some.â€<br /> <br /> The ‘present calamity’ of course refers to the ongoing Revolutionary War. Much of the remainder of the biography reproduces ministry that Lightfoot had given at meetings closer to her death from how she was “grieved to see the haughtiness of the Young men and the folly of the Young women†to her warning that “Well would it have been for the old world had they taken warning at the sound of the hammer in building the Arkâ€. Her biographers write<br /> <br /> “Much more might be Truly said concerning this our endeared missing friend and of our great loss of her but we trust it is more the desire of a remnant amongst us both Young and Old to endeavour in our measures to follow her as she followed Christ; and that we and all who have been partaken of her Pious labours nay be animated to talk that we may have grounds to hope our latter end may be like unto hersâ€.<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of Quaker history and particularly of women’s roles in the history of religion.<br /> <br /> 1 Mary Leadbeater Biographical notices of members of the Society of Friends who were resident in Ireland London: Harvey and Darton 1823 278-9.<br /> <br /> 2 Ormerod Greenwood “John Woolman and Susanna Lightfoot†The Journal of the Friends' Historical Society 48 no. 4 Autumn 1957. unknown‎

Complete in four pages with the imprint recorded on the rear colophon. With no listing on ESTC and no appearances at auction a truly scarce piece.<br/><br/>A unique opportunity to trace a string of direct argument-and-response publications rapidly produced within one year of the 17th century querelle des femme pamphlet wars. Brought together in one binding by solicitor and bibliophile Edward Hailstone whose remarkable library at Walton Hall included rare books and antiquities. <br/><br/>The Querelle des Femmes the Woman Question was a debate on women's status that raged across Europe and England through the 16th to 18th century depicted at times in drama and literature but most often enacted through broadsides and pamphlets. While early iterations of the debate focused on whether women were humans or indeed possessed souls emphasis began shifting as an increasing number of women began printing responses of their own. In this collection's first pamphlet "Mary Want-man the fore-maid of the petitioners" the anonymous female author draws attention to the negative impacts that misogynist bolster lectures have had on the general state of matrimony. By labeling women as natural harlots predestined to cuckold their husbands the Petition alleges polemicists endangered women and men alike: the former would lack economic and legal security without a spouse and the former would turn to drink and debauchery. "Mary Want-man" in this sense turns the tables on the terms of the debate. Men are morally weak without a helpmeet and need wives -- and women are placed at social disadvantage by the rules that define them as men's companions. To this end the Petition sets out the demand that men be required to marry much as women have been and that they meet five terms: "First that all men of Quality and Degree soever shall be obliged to marry as soon as they are one and twenty and that those persons who decline so doing shall for their Liberty as they call it pay yearly to the State.Secondly that no Excuse shall be admitted but that of natural Frigidity or Impotence.Thirdly since it is found by experience that the generality of young men are such Idolators of the Bottle.that no person whatsoever shall be privileged to enter a Tavern who is not married.That every Poet or pretender to be a poet or anyone who is hired to write .to the derogation of the Matrimonial State shall be obliged to marry before Lady day ensuing.Lastly.every person of Quality pretending to keep a Miss.must dispose of her in Marriage to his Footman or Groom." Biting and witty this feminist satire suggests that men must be corralled and that marriage is the means by which to do it thus also ensuring stability for women. <br/><br/>Soon after the "Bookselling Batchelors" engaged "Mary" with their own publication -- and in attempting to break down the Petition's satirical arguments An Humble Remonstrance relies on many of the misogynistic commonplaces that the Ladies decried. And in its conclusion Remonstrance teases the possibility that women were right about men's current debauched tendencies shifting The Petition's desire for social instability to one of bawdy fulfillment for men's benefit. "The Ladies are weary of lying alone and so are we: They would fain be advantageously married and so would your humble Servants. The Quarrel on their side is therefore unjustly begun.but because Jacob could serve two Apprenticeships for his Rachel they imagine that we must do the same; not considering that the Race of Methuselahs and Patriarchs is quite extinct."<br/><br/>Unwilling to be outdone the women clap back; and a pamphleteer claiming to represent the interests of the region's Widows joins the printed fray. "Last week a petition subscribed by the unmarried Ladies came before you.Tis true we wondered to find an Army of Maids from whom the world usually expects modesty and silence.Widowes indeed who lye under no such restrictions are allowed to speak for themselves." Thus the Widows point out a crucial and problematic differentiation among women based on marital status: the division of the femme covert unmarried or married women with legal identities subsumed by fathers or husbands under coverture versus femme sole orphaned or widowed women with more independent legal and social status. To this end the widows recognize the need of the Maids to raise concerns about the issues most affecting them; while the more empowered widows can build on this foundation and push for a further expansion of rights.<br/><br/>While the final pamphlet of the group is not a direct engagement with the others it does suggest the collector's own interest in the role alcohol plays in much of the behavior decried by women in these works. <br/><br/>An opportunity unlikely to arise again for acquiring three incredibly scarce directly related arguments released only weeks apart.
