The Power of Woman
Sarah Moore Grimke (17921873) wanted to become "a useful member of society," a goal she met through her impressive contributions to American social reform during the 1830s. The issue that loomed largest during that decade was slavery, and Sarah became a spokeswoman for and a leader in the abolition movement. As a Southern gentlewoman, her contributions were unique in that she critiqued the institution based on personal experience.But Sarah did more than fight for the rights of slaves. Perhaps her greatest contribution was as an advocate of women's rights. Her feminist beliefs are set forth in her Letters on the Equality of the Sexes (1838). In this collection of letters, she implemented a ne...

An epistle to the clergy of the southern states
Sarah Moore Grimké, a daughter of a wealthy South Carolina plantation owner, raised to believe slavery was moral and believed she had to defy her way of living. Yet, she changed her mind and understood that the Christian religion doesn't support slavery. So, in 1836, she wrote An Epistle to the Clergy of the Southern States, where she spoke out against slavery in the U.S. through Biblical examples.
Letter to My Dear Sister
In the postscript, Sarah Moore Grimké suggests that a short address to children is prepared to be issued by the convention for juveniles in the anti-slavery movement, and that "some mother in Boston do this before we meet."
The Public Years of Sarah and Angelina Grimk
Sarah Moore Grimke and Angelina Emily Grimke were the first women in America coming from a southern slave-holding family to speak publicly on behalf of the abolition of slavery.Creating a stir of controversy soon afterwards during the 1830s especially with the force of their testimony before the Massachusetts State Legislature, they soon found themselves defending publicly and at length the right of women to speak on moral and political issues and on the end of the subordination of women. The editor of this collection of eloquent political writings, Larry Ceplair, has written a critical introduction situating the Grimkes' in an historical and political context in which he describes the significance of their thought and work. Of special interest is the inclusion of writings documenting the Grimke sisters activities that preceded by 11 years the first woman's rights convention in America, held at Seneca Falls, N.Y., in 1848.Most of the Grimke sisters writings are out of print today. Mr. Ceplair's efforts will be greatly appreciated by those interested in the history of feminist theory, antebellum history.
