Sister Societies : Women’s Antislavery Organizations In Antebellum America

  • Sister Societies : Women's Antislavery Organizations In Antebellum America

  • Attribution

    Beth A. Salerno

  • Publication Details

    Book, Northern Illinois University Press, 2005

  • Links

  • 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.

Founding Mothers : The Women Who Raised Our Nation

  • Founding Mothers : The Women Who Raised Our Nation

  • Attribution

    Cokie Roberts

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, William Morrow, 2004

  • Description

    Drawing upon personal correspondence, private journals, and even favored recipes, Roberts reveals the often surprising stories of these fascinating women, bringing to life the everyday trials and extraordinary triumphs of individuals like Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, Deborah Read Franklin, Eliza Pinckney, Catherine Littlefield Green, Esther DeBerdt Reed, and Martha Washington — proving that without our exemplary women, the new country might never have survived. Roberts proves beyond a doubt that like every generation of American women that has followed, the founding mothers used the unique gifts of their gender — courage, pluck, sadness, joy, energy, grace, sensitivity, and humor — to do what women do best, put one foot in front of the other in remarkable circumstances and carry on.

The Great Silent Army Of Abolitionism : Ordinary Women In The Antislavery Movement

  • The Great Silent Army Of Abolitionism : Ordinary Women In The Antislavery Movement

  • Attribution

    Julie Roy Jeffrey

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of North Carolina Press, 1998

  • Description

    By focusing on male leaders of the abolitionist movement, historians have often overlooked the great grassroots army of women who also fought to eliminate slavery. Drawing from letters, diaries, and institutional records, she uses the words of ordinary women to illuminate the meaning of abolitionism in their lives, the rewards and challenges that their commitment provided, and the anguished personal and public steps that abolitionism sometimes demanded they take.
