Episode 3 follows Margaret Fell, who became convinced of the Quaker message after meeting George Fox. Soon her home, Swarthmoor Hall, became a center for the growing movement. Episode 3 looks at her practical leadership, her support for imprisoned Friends, and her strong defense of women’s ministry. Her work helped shape the early organisation and direction of Quakerism.
