Angelina Grimke

Personal Background:

• I was born in Charleston, South Carolina on February 20, 1805.
• I died on October 26, 1879 in Hyde Park, Massachusetts.
• I am an American anti-slavery crusader and women's rights advocates.
• I was educated at home.
• I was influenced by my sister, Sarash, and became a Quaker and an abolitionist.
• I published a letter against slavery in 1835.

Issue(s) and Solution(s):

• I believe slavery should not exist, and women should have equal rights in society.
• I became one of the first women to lecture for American Anti-Slavery Society
• I was attacked for speaking in public because I'm a woman.
• It became necessary to fight equally for women's rights.
• I speak and write about the oppression of slaves and women.
• I published an abolitionist pamphlet, An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South, which condemned slavery as a violation of Christianity, human law, and the Declaration of Independence.

Relationship to Other(s):

• Temperance: It should be stopped because women should get the rights they deserved like men.
• Abolition: Slavery should be removed because it is against human rights and religion.
• Women's Rights: Women should have equal rights as men and not be controlled by anyone but them selves.
• Education: I think education is important and necessary for women; thus, they can educate their children.
• Prison Reform: I support this because I fight for anti-slavery but also for equality, too.
• Utopian Communities: This community will give women equality and giving them their rights.
• Transcendentalism: I do agree transcendentalists should go against anyone who is doing anything unjust like abolition and going for free religion.
