Historian and author Angelica Shirley Carpenter tells the remarkable true story of the sisters’ lives as they cut a swath across the northeastern United States, speaking out against slavery even while facing violence from pro-slavery mobs. When women were expected to stay at home and be quiet, they spoke up, too, for women’s rights, becoming pioneer advocates for that civil liberties movement. Sarah and Angelina’s activism played an important role in the early 1800s, and their actions have had lasting effects—influencing figures such as Ruth Bader Ginsberg—that have set the stage for present-day crusades for equality.
