Although the religious community she founded on a framework of abstinence and friendship did not long survive her, Wilkinson remains a figure of fascination and mystery to this day. Herbert A. Wisbey Jr.'s 1964 biography is the authoritative account of her life, times, and ideals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fall Creek Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46894593278103,"sku":"9780801404597","price":6819.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780801404597.webp?v=1770325638","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pioneer-prophetess-jemima-wilkinson-the-publick-universal-friend-9780801404597","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
