About Ellen G. White
American author and religious leader
Ellen G. White was an American author and religious leader in the 19th century. She was a prophet and co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and her influence helped shape the movement’s early years. Working alongside other Adventist leaders, including Joseph Bates and her husband James White, she played a central role in the small group that grew into the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She is also remembered as a leading figure in American vegetarian history, and the Smithsonian named her among its “100 Most Significant Americans of All Time.”
