“We Abolition Women are turning the world upside down.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

“... this nation is rotten at the heart, and ... nothing but the most tremendous blows with the sledge-hammer of abolition truth, could ever have broken the false rest which we had taken up for ourselves on the very brink of ruin.”
