Relationship is the theme connecting these four pamphlets, presented before the Woman's Problems Group in Philadelphia. The first was "The Self to the Self," that is, I to me; the second, "Martha and Mary," I to my family, my work, thought, love, and aspiration. The third is entitled "Are Your Meetings Held in the Life," I to you and we to God.

About the Author

Anna Brinton hails from California, where she was serving as academic dean and convener of the school of fine arts at Mills College when summoned to Pendle Hill as co-director with her husband, Howard H. Brinton, in 1936.

Since that time Pendle Hill and the Brintons have been inextricably entwined. When not living and teaching on the Pendle Hill campus they are sitting on the facing benches of Yearly Meetings throughout the country, regarded with a filial devotion by the whole of American Quakerdom. Anna Brinton’s accomplishments also include several books and pamphlets, three honorary degrees, and sixteen grandchildren.
