Angelina Grimké (1805-1879) and Sarah Grimké (1792-1873)
were born into a large 
family of wealthy slaveowners in elegant Charleston, South Carolina. These sisters moved to the 
North to defend the rights of blacks and women. As speakers for the New York Anti-Slavery 
Society, they were the first women to publicly lecture to audiences, including men. In letters, 
essays, and studies, they drew parallels between racism and sexism.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902)
, abolitionist and women's rights activist, lived for a 
time in Boston, where she befriended Lydia Child. With Lucretia Mott, she organized the 1848 
Seneca Falls Convention for Women's rights; she also drafted its 
Declaration of Sentiments
. Her 
"Woman's Declaration of Independence" begins "men and women are created equal" and includes a 
resolution to give women the right to vote. With Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton 
campaigned for suffrage in the 1860s and 1870s, formed the anti-slavery Women's Loyal National 
League and the National Woman Suffrage Association, and co-edited the weekly newspaper 
Revolution
. President of the Woman Suffrage Association for 21 years, she led the struggle for 
women's rights. She gave public lectures in several states, partly to support the education of her 
seven children.
After her husband died, Cady Stanton deepened her analysis of inequality between the 
sexes. Her book 
The Woman's Bible
(1895) discerns a deep-seated anti-female bias in Judaeo-
Christian tradition. She lectured on such subjects as divorce, women's rights, and religion until her 
death at 86, just after writing a letter to President Theodore Roosevelt supporting the women's vote. 
Her numerous works -- at first pseudonymous, but later under her own name -- include three co-
authored volumes of 
History of Woman Suffrage
(1881-1886) and a candid, humorous 
autobiography.
