The painting depicts Margaret Askew Fell Fox (1614-1702), who married George Fox, the founder of Quakerism. It symbolizes the principles of equality between men and women that were central to their beliefs. The image transports us back to the puritanical society of 17th century England, where Judge Fell's home became a gathering place for Quakers or the Society of Friends. With its pious atmosphere and biblical references, Swarthmore Hall stands as a testament to the strength and conviction of this religious movement.
