Alice Curwen
Alice Curwen (c. 1619–1679) was an English Quaker missionary, who wrote an autobiography published, along with correspondence, as part of ''A Relation of the Labour, Travail and Suffering of that Faithful Servant of the Lord, Alice Curwen''(1680). Her maiden name and parentage are unknown.〔 Michael Mullett: "Curwen, Thomas (c. 1610–1680)", ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (Oxford, UK: OUP, 2004) (Retrieved 17 November 2015 )〕 She came from Baycliff in the Furness district of Lancashire (now in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria), and spent part of her life as a missionary and social activist in New England and the Caribbean.〔''The Feminist Companion to Literature in English'', eds Virginia Blain, Patricia Clements and Isobel Grundy (London: Batsford, 1990), p. 255.〕〔 "Alice Curwen" (p. 108 ff.) in David Booy (ed.): ''Autobiographical Writings by Early Quaker Women'' (Aldershot, England: Ashgate, 2004) (Retrieved 17 November 2015 )〕
==Marriage and conversion==
Alice married about 1641 Thomas Curwen, also born in Baycliff. The couple joined the Religious Society of Friends in about 1652, during a mission to Furness by George Fox. Thomas was among 27 Friends from Furness and elsewhere in Lancashire who were prosecuted several times for interrupting priests and addressing their congregations. He was arrested in 1659 and imprisoned in Lancaster Castle for failing to pay parish tithes and seemingly on later occasions as well.〔 Altogether, he stated in ''A Relation...'',〔 he spent eleven years in prison.
