Ellen Gould White (née Harmon; November 26, 1827 – July 16, 1915) was an American author, and was both the prophet and a co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Along with other Adventist leaders, such as Joseph Bates and her husband James White, she was influential within a small group of early Adventists who formed what became known as the Seventh-day Adventist Church. White is considered a leading figure in American vegetarian history. Smithsonian named her among the "100 Most Significant Americans of All Time". White's biographer and grandson, Arthur L. White, estimated that she reported receiving over 2,000 visions and dreams from God in public and private meetings throughout her life, many of which were observed by Adventist pioneers and the general public.
