Letters On The Equality Of The Sexes And The Condition Of Woman: Addressed To Mary S. Parker, President Of The Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163485743)

""Letters On The Equality Of The Sexes And The Condition Of Woman: Addressed To Mary S. Parker, President Of The Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society"" is a collection of letters written by Sarah Moore Grimke, an American abolitionist and women's rights advocate, to Mary S. Parker. The letters were originally published in 1837 and 1838 and were written in response to a speech given by Parker at the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, in which she argued that women's rights were secondary to the abolition of slavery.Grimke's letters argue that the fight for women's rights and the fight against slavery are interconnected, and that women should be treated as equals to men in all areas of life. She argues that women should have the same opportunities for education and employment as men, and that they should have the right to vote and participate in politics.The book is a powerful and important work of feminist literature, and was one of the earliest works to argue for women's rights in the United States. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of feminism and the fight for women's rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
