Women's Rights Emerges within the Anti-Slavery Movement

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Sklar has produced a first-rate piece of work. Her introductory essay skilfully uses biography to explore the character of abolitionism and the ways in which the campaign for women's rights emerged from the struggle against slavery. The choice of documents is excellent and will encourage students to understand and make connections between two of the most important antebellum reform movements' - Julie Roy Jeffrey, Goucher College 'This book offers an excellent sense of the myriad issues related to race and gender that were central to the spread of abolitionism and the emergency of women's rights in antebellum America. Highly accessible and eloquently presented, this volume incorporates both interpretive text and critical documents and thus provides a superb teaching tool for undergraduate classes.' - Nancy Hewitt, Rutgers University
