I found this free ebook on Amazon after doing a quick search upon finishing The Invention of Wings. I wanted to read a few of the primary sources written by Angelina and Sarah Grimke.
They truly were visionaries. Consider this: "Morality, like natural light, is so extremely subtle in its nature as to overleap all human barriers, and laugh at the puny efforts of man to control it."
Angelina and Sarah advocated not only for complete emancipation, they also supported complete equality, and show more emancipation without expatriation.
The only difficulty in this text to this modern reader was the numerous remarks that exuded anti-Jewish sentiment, stemming from the erroneous religious belief that Jews were responsible for killing Jesus. Angelina's deep Christian faith pervades the text, and along with that is a bias against Jews (and to a lesser extent Catholics, they have one or two snippets thrown their way as well). show less
