Hannah Smith (1832-1911), writer, evangelist, and reformer, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 7, 1832. Hannah Whitall grew up in a strict Quaker home and had from childhood a deep concern with religion and a habit of introspection. In 1851 she married Robert P. Smith, also a Quaker, and in 1865 they moved to Millville, New Jersey, where they came under the influence of the Wesleyan-based "holiness" movement. In 1875 she published The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life, a guide to sanctification and complete surrender to divine will that was translated into several foreign languages and sold some 2 million copies around the world.
