The Religious World of Antislavery Women - Spirituality in the Lives of Five Abolitionist Lecturers

Speicher examines the spiritual lives and convictions of five radical abolitionist women of the nineteenth century who rejected the repressive features of the Christianity of their day.

Summary

The 19th-century women reformers discussed in this text, including Angelina Grimke and Abby Kelley, rejected the repressive features of the Christianity of their day. Their religiosity, however, was fundamental to their world view. This work explores the dimensions of this evolving faith.
