Beth A. SalernoPublication Details
BookNorthern Illinois University Press2005Links
Description
Many nineteenth-century women got their first taste of political activism in small-town societies advocating temperance and other moral causes. In Sister Societies, Beth Salerno documents ties of kinship and friendship that drew women into the more than 200 exclusively female antislavery societies scattered across the free states. Salerno looks closely at the ways in which members defined their work as political or moral, as well as how the surrounding society viewed it, to fine-tune our understanding of a critical moment in the history of women’s activism.
