The first full study of women's participation in the British anti-slavery movement. It explores women's distinctive contributions and shows how these were vital in shaping successive stages of the abolutionist campaign.
This comprehensive study of women anti-slavery campaigners fills a serious gap in abolitionist history. Covering all stages of the campaign, Women Against Slavery uses hitherto neglected sources to build up a vivid picture of the lives, words and actions of the women who were involved, and their distinctive contribution to the abolitionist movement. It looks at the way women''s participation influenced the organisation, activities, policy and ideology of the campaign, and analyses the impact of female activism on women''s own attitudes to their social roles, and their participation in public life. Exploring the vital role played by gender in shaping the movement as a whole, this book makes an important contribution to the debate on `race'' and gender.
