Betsy experienced her heart lurch. Just over a mile from where she stood, women and children been around in conditions more deplorable than the slums she regularly been to. Why hadn't she looked into this before? With out a second thought, she said, "Something must be done immediately for those poor, struggling children. I will go to them tomorrow." Exposed to the horrendous living conditions of women prisoners and their children, Elizabeth Fry pledged to increase the lives of society's most eager people - something nobody else dared to do. Revealing to doubters, "If I don't, who will?" Betsy became one of England's biggest reformers and one of the 19th century's most much loved people. Guided by her Quaker beliefs, she led efforts in education and literacy, prison reform, and - together with statistics such as William Wilberforce and Thomas Fowell Buxton - the abolition of slavery. Elizabeth Fry (1780-1845) insisted on justice and permanently changed the way humans treat each other.
