Women's Rights Emerges within the Anti-Slavery Movement Summary

Women's Rights Emerges within the Anti-Slavery Movement: A Short History with Documents by Kathryn Kish Sklar

Combining documents with an interpretive essay, this book is the first to offer a much-needed guide to the emergence of the women's rights movement within the anti-slavery activism of the 1830s. A 60-page introductory essay traces the cause of women's rights in America from Angelina and Sarah Grimke's campaign against slavery through the development of a full-fledged women's rights movement in the 1840s and 1850s and the emergence of race as a divisive issue that finally split that movement in 1869. A rich collection of over 50 documents gives students immediate access to the world of abolitionists and women's right advocates and their passionate struggles for emancipation.

Women's Rights Emerges within the Anti-Slavery Movement Reviews

'Sklar has produced a first-rate piece of work. Her introductory essay skilfully uses biography to explore the character of abolitionism and the ways in which the campaign for women's rights emerged from the struggle against slavery. The choice of documents is excellent and will encourage students to understand and make connections between two of the most important antebellum reform movements' - Julie Roy Jeffrey, Goucher College 'This book offers an excellent sense of the myriad issues related to race and gender that were central to the spread of abolitionism and the emergency of women's rights in antebellum America. Highly accessible and eloquently presented, this volume incorporates both interpretive text and critical documents and thus provides a superb teaching tool for undergraduate classes.' - Nancy Hewitt, Rutgers University
