1. SARAH AND ANGELINA GRIMKE Anna Jahns and Gracie Puckett

3. THEIR QUEST  Sarah and Angelina were abolitionists  After the Civil War, they fought for women’s suffrage

4. SARAH MOORE GRIMKE  “Perhaps I am indebted partially to this for my life-long detestation of slavery, as it brought me in close contact with these unpaid toilers.”

5. ANGELINA EMILY GRIMKE  “If persecution is the means which God has ordained for the accomplishment of this great end, emancipation, then…I feel as if I could say, let it come; for it is my deep, solemn deliberate conviction, that this is a cause worth dying for….”

6. METHODS  Sarah and her sister spoke publicly about abolition to both women and men. ( In this time period, it was unacceptable to give speeches to both genders at the same time)

7. WRITINGS: SARAH  1836- Epistle to the Clergymen of the South  1838- Letters on the Equality of the Sexes and the Condition of Woman  1839- written with Theodore Weld-American Slavery as It Is: Testimony of a Thousand Witnesses

8. WRITINGS: ANGELINA  1836-Appeal to the Christian Women of the South  1837- Appeal to the Women of the Nominally Free States

9. IMPRACTICAL?  Their method of public speaking (to both sexes) may have been impractical in the South, gained them fame in the North among the abolitionists.  Both illegally voted in 1870

10. SUCCESS/ EFFECTS  Though their campaigning had no major effect, slavery was soon abolished at the end of the civil war, which was in their lifetime.  Their public speaking about women's suffrage encouraged a long line of females that followed in their footsteps. At the end of it all, women got their voting rights.
