A Grimke Reader

A Grimké Reader provides an excellent introduction to the writings and heroics of this influential family of Massachusetts Abolitionists. The sisters, Sarah and Angelina, are, perhaps, the most famous members of this family. Some of the most important writings, speeches, and actions of the family are included here, along with a biography of the sisters by Catherine H. Birney and a description of a family funeral by Theodore Dwight Weld, a member of the famous Weld family that produced a current presidential candidate a and a movie star).
