Publisher Description: Grimke (1805-79) was an American political activist, women's rights advocate and, apart from her sister, the only known white Southern woman to be part of the abolition movement. The sisters toured New England in 1837 speaking about their first-hand experience of slavery, resulting in widespread controversy over women abolitionists' public and political work. These "open letters" to Catherine Beecher, who was strongly anti-suffragist, first appeared in The New England Spectator and The Liberator before being published in book form in 1838. |
