John Wilhelm Rowntree is a biography written by Rufus M. Jones. The book chronicles the life and work of John Wilhelm Rowntree, a prominent British Quaker and social reformer. Rowntree was born in York in 1868 and was raised in a family deeply committed to the Quaker faith. He went on to become a successful businessman and played a key role in the development of the Rowntree chocolate company. However, Rowntree was not content to simply focus on his business ventures. He was deeply committed to social justice and spent much of his life working to improve the lives of those less fortunate. He was involved in a wide range of social causes, including the fight for women's suffrage, the abolition of the death penalty, and the creation of a more just economic system. Throughout his life, Rowntree remained true to his Quaker beliefs and was known for his unwavering commitment to peace and nonviolence.
