Women in Abolition

Reformers who were women improved the social conditions of themselves as a whole. Sojourner Truth was "hissed at in disapproval" at the women's rights convention in 1851. Since she supported abolition, other women who spoke felt that she would make their cause set the bar low, but her speech won an applause for men to give women the rights that they hope for. Most women, like a Truth, showed hard work in what they were determined, which brought up many other social reforms.
