Female leaders in the Abolition Movement/ Accomplishments

Angelina Grimke and Sarah Moore Grimke became famous for making speeches to mixed (male and female) audiences about slavery. For this radical action, clergymen soundly condemned them. As a result, in addition to working for abolition, the Grimke sisters began to advocate for women’s rights. Isabella Baumfree, a slave for the first 30 years of her life, took the name Sojourner Truth when she decided to sojourn or travel. She preached throughout the country and later argued for abolition.
