Angelina Grimke, American Abolitionist

Colour-enhanced portrait of Angelina Emily Grimke Weld (1805-1879), an American political activist, abolitionist and supporter of the women's suffrage movement. In 1829, she addressed the issue of slavery at a meeting in her church and stated that all slaveholding members of her congregation openly condemn the practice. Because she was such an active member of the church community, her audience respectfully declined her proposal. This incident led to her official expulsion from the Presbyterian church. Convinced that the South was not the proper place for her or her work she relocated to Philadelphia where she joined the local chapter of the Religious Society of Friends. She began to attend anti-slavery meetings and lectures, and later joined the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society in 1835. In 1836, she wrote her famous An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South, which is often considered by scholars one of the best manifestations of Grimke's.
