He rebelled against the religious and political authorities by proposing an unusual and uncompromising approach to the Christian faith. He travelled throughout Britain as a dissenting preacher, for which he was often persecuted by the authorities who disapproved of his beliefs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFox married Margaret Fell, the widow of one of his wealthier supporters; she was a leading Friend. His ministry expanded and he undertook tours of North America and the Low Countries, between which he was imprisoned for over a year. He spent the final decade of his life working in London to organize the expanding Quaker movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough his movement attracted disdain from some, others such as William Penn and Oliver Cromwell viewed Fox with respect. —from Wikipedia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*    *    *    *    *\u003cbr\u003eThis autobiography was edited by Rufus M.
