The Emancipation of Angelina Grimké

By Katherine DuPre Lumpkin | Publisher: The University of North Carolina Press

About the book

Although Angelina and Sarah Grimké have been regarded as equally gifted and involved abolitionists and nineteenth-century women’s rights advocates, this first biography of Angelina clearly shows that she, indeed, was the outstanding leader, as her contemporaries recognized. Through the use of unpublished documentary sources and impressive psychological insights, Lumpkin provides new perspectives on Angelina, her husband Theodore Weld, and her sister Sarah.
