Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating look into the life of Joshua Rowntree, a prominent Quaker figure who lived in the latter half of the 19th century and the early 20th century. The author delves into Rowntreeââ â¢s upbringing, his passion for social justice, and his tireless work in the realm of politics and social reform. We learn about his early childhood, the influence of his Quaker upbringing, and the strong moral compass that guided him. His unwavering belief in equality and his willingness to stand against injustice are highlighted through numerous anecdotes, including his determined efforts to secure justice for a tailor facing persecution in his village. The book also explores Rowntreeââ â¢s commitment to education and his founding of a successful adult school in Scarborough, where he sought to empower individuals from all walks of life. The author demonstrates the depth of his subjectââ â¢s character through his own personal writings, including a revealing diary entry where he grapples with the complexities of his own faith and the temptations he encounters. Rowntreeââ â¢s life is a testament to the power of individual action in creating a more just and equitable society.
