The Roots Web Ancestry website briefly tell us about Ann(e) Docwra:

Docwra, Anne (1624 - 1710) Quaker author of numerous pamphlets in which she argued for the supremacy of God's word over human laws, and the importance of the `inner light' as a revelation of God's love. She supported women's active involvement in the Church, and also pleaded for religious tolerance, although she was forceful in attacking those whom she felt were enemies of the Quaker cause. Among these was an apostate Quaker, Francis Brigg, with whom she engaged in a vigorous and colourful pamphlet war. Docwra defended George Fox against accusations of indulgence.
