Why is Elizabeth Fry on a 5?

She was significant because she improved prison and life in many aspects for women and poor people. Elizabeth dedicated her life to her work. Prompted by a family friend, Stephen Grellet, Fry visited Newgate prison. The conditions she saw there horrified her. The women's section was over crowded with women and children, some of whom had not even received a trial. They did their own cooking and washing in the small cells in which they slept on straw. Elizabeth Fry has been depicted on the English £5 note since 2002 for changing life for poor and female inmates.
