Named by the Smithsonian magazine as one of the “100 Most Significant Americans of All Time,” Ellen G. White was one of the co-founders of the Adventist Church. Although she only received a third grade education, she is the most translated female non-fiction author in history and the most translated non-fiction American author of either gender. The Ellen G. White Estate is instrumental in the preservation and publication of her literary works that span topics from Bible teaching to healthy living. The White Estate coordinates translation of White’s writings and is continuously expanding access to them through innovative print and digital channels.
