In her compelling 1836 work, "Appeal to the Christian Women of the South," Angelina Emily Grimké presents a powerful argument against slavery, intertwining her advocacy for abolition with a call for moral awakening among Southern women. The epistolary format allows Grimké to directly engage her audience, employing persuasive rhetoric infused with religious conviction and feminist insight. Her eloquent prose not only reflects the Transcendentalist ideals of her time but also stands as a critical commentary on the socio-political climate of pre-Civil War America, wherein women's voices were often marginalized amidst the tumult of slavery and gender inequality. Angelina Emily Grimké, the daughter of a wealthy Southern slaveholder, experienced a transformative journey from privilege to activism. Influenced by Quaker beliefs and the abolitionist movement, her upbringing in Charleston served as a stark juxtaposition to her vehement opposition to slavery. Grimké's unique position as a Southern woman campaigning for emancipation adds a layered complexity to her arguments, as she challenges both slavery and the societal norms that bind women to silence in the patriarchal South. This significant and thought-provoking treatise is essential for readers interested in the intersections of gender, race, and morality. Grimké's passionate appeal not only resonates with contemporary discussions on social justice but also serves as a historical touchstone for those seeking to understand the roots of feminist and abolitionist thought.

The diary that Angelina Grimke (1805-1879) kept from 1828 through 1835 offers a window into the spiritual struggles and personal evolution of a woman who would become one of the nation's most fervent abolitionists. A native of Charleston, South Carolina, and an heir to a family enterprise dependent on slave labor, Grimke was an unlikely supporter of emancipation. Only after years of inner turmoil did she leave the South to join her sister Sarah in the crusade against slavery. While Grimke's public persona has been widely studied, the private spiritual and intellectual journey that preceded her public career and pushed her to the forefront of the abolitionist movement is chronicled for the first time in Walking by Faith. When Grimke began this diary in January 1828, uncertainty about her place in the world and her life's work occupied her thoughts. For the next seven years she recorded her most intimate concerns. Her diary entries follow her shift in religious affiliation from Episcopolian to Presbyterian to Quaker; her changing views on abolition; her conclusion that living as a Quaker in Charleston would be impossible; and her decision to establish an existence independent of her

The daughters of a wealthy and respected Charlestown judge, Sarah and Angelina Grimké grew up with a life of ease, facilitated by the convenience of slavery. Yet their close proximity to inhumane cruelty bred their revulsion towards the practice of slavery, and both sisters rejected their upbringing, moved to Philadelphia and embraced Quakerism. Led by Angelina's gifted oration, they toured the country as the American Anti-Slavery Society's first female agents. They passionately demonstrated the ability of women to make valuable contributions to political and social change, setting a precedent that would reverberate through the 20th century. This title explores their views on slavery and abolitionism.

Catherine E. Beecher attacked Angelina Grimké's activism on the grounds that women should not participate in the anti-slavery fight because of their subordinate position in 19th century society. In this public reply, Grimké argues in defense of both slavery and women's rights.

Centered around the themes of death, women as objects of desire, lost love, motherhood, and children, the poems in this selection offer insight into the work of this well-known abolitionist and advocate of women's rights. Including Grimke's prose and drama, which often focus on lynching, this volume sheds new light on a perspective characterized by the African-American experience of racial pride and the reaction against racists acts.
