A
merican women endured many inequalities in the 19th century: They were denied the vote, 
barred from professional schools and most higher education, forbidden to speak in public and even 
attend public conventions, and unable to own property. Despite these obstacles, a strong women's 
network sprang up. Through letters, personal friendships, formal meetings, women's newspapers, 
and books, women furthered social change. Intellectual women drew parallels between themselves 
and slaves. They courageously demanded fundamental reforms, such as the abolition of slavery and 
women's suffrage, despite social ostracism and sometimes financial ruin. Their works were the 
vanguard of intellectual expression of a larger women's literary tradition that included the 
sentimental novel. Women's sentimental novels, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe's 
Uncle Tom's 
Cabin
, were enormously popular. They appealed to the emotions and often dramatized contentious 
social issues, particularly those touching the family and women's roles and responsibilities.
Abolitionist 
Lydia Child (1802-1880)
, who greatly influenced Margaret Fuller, was a 
leader of this network. Her successful 1824 novel 
Hobomok
shows the need for racial and religious 
toleration. Its setting -- Puritan Salem, Massachusetts -- anticipated Nathaniel Hawthorne. An 
activist, Child founded a private girls' school, founded and edited the first journal for children in the 
United States, and published the first anti- slavery tract, 
An Appeal in Favor of that Class of 
Americans Called Africans
, in 1833. This daring work made her notorious and ruined her 
financially. Her 
History of the Condition of Women in Various Ages and Nations
(1855) argues for 
women's equality by pointing to their historical achievements.
