Sarah Moore Grimké (1792–1873) and Angelina Emily Grimké (1805–1879), known as the Grimké sisters, were the first nationally-known white American female advocates of abolition of slavery and women's rights. They were speakers, writers, and educators.
Sarah and Angelina were Southern-born and early developed an antipathy toward both slavery and the limitations on the rights of women. Sarah, who had objected to the rather superficial education made available to her, made a number of visits to Philadelphia, where she became acquainted with the Society of Friends; at length, in 1821, she became a member and left her Southern home permanently. Angelina followed in 1829 and also became a Quaker. In 1835 Angelina wrote a letter of approval to William Lloyd Garrison that he subsequently published in his abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator. From that time on, the sisters were deeply involved in the abolition movement, with Angelina always taking the lead. In 1836 she wrote a pamphlet, An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South, in which she urged those addressed to use their moral force against slavery. Sarah followed with An Epistle to the Clergy of the Southern States. The sisters’ public identification with the abolitionist cause rendered them anathema in their native city and state and even strained their Quaker friendships.
Under the auspices of the American Anti-Slavery Society, the Grimké sisters began to address small groups of women in private homes; this practice grew naturally into appearances before large mixed audiences. The General Association of Congregational Ministers of Massachusetts issued a pastoral letter in July 1837 strongly denouncing women preachers and reformers, and the sisters thereafter found it necessary to crusade equally for women’s rights. Their lectures at Odeon Hall, Boston, in the spring of 1838 attracted thousands. There followed Angelina’s Appeal to the Women of the Nominally Free States (1837) and Sarah’s Letters on the Equality of the Sexes and the Condition of Woman (1838). In 1838 Angelina married the abolitionist Theodore Dwight Weld. After collaborating with Weld on Slavery As It Is: Testimony of a Thousand Witnesses (1839), the sisters retired from public activity.
