Thousands of people devoted their lives to ending slavery. Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman and William Lloyd Garrison were not the only leaders. Others made contributions to the crusade. Maria Stewart (1803-1879) Maria Stewart, a free-born African American woman fired by political and religious zeal, began lecturing and writing pamphlets in 1831. She lectured on abolition, equal rights, colonization, educational opportunities, and racial pride and unity. One of the most radical writers of her time, she advocated black self-determination and independence from whites. Her career as a public speaker was cut short due to strong opposition to women lecturing in public, even from members of the black community. Stewart launched a distinguished career as an educator in New York and eventually opened two schools for free African American children in Washington, D.C. Lydia Maria Child (1802-1880) Lydia Maria Child was a Massachusetts-born white woman who was an anti-slavery writer and activist. She published essays, articles, letters and novels, and edited

Frances Harper's "Bury Me in a Free Land" Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) was one of the most prolific and popular African American writers of the nineteenth century, authoring four novels, several widely praised volumes of poems, and a number of essays and short stories. Born in Baltimore to free black parents who died when she was young, Frances Watkins was raised by her uncle William Watkins, a prominent educator and abolitionist. She taught at schools in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and in the early 1850s left teaching to lecture for the Maine Anti-Slavery Society and other antislavery organizations. She married Fenton Harper of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1860, and after his death four years later she resumed lecturing, supporting the cause of black suffrage and urging blacks to work for their uplift through temperance, education, and economic empowerment. In 1892 she published her best-known work of fiction, Iola Leroy . For most of her life, however, she was best known for her poetry. Prefaced by William Lloyd Garrison and published in 1854, her first volume of poetry, Poems on Miscellaneous Subjects Uncle Tom's Cabin , sold approximately 12,000 copies in its first four years in print and was reprinted at least twenty times during Harper's lifetime. "Bury Me in a Free Land" was written in the late 1850s and published in the 1864

Home The Parlor The Kitchen References Women's writing has enjoyed a rich tradition. Women of all classes, ranks and ages have taken up the pen throughout history. In the nineteenth century, there was a broad range of writing circulating beyond the few hallowed authors of the "American Renaissance". This page gives you a brief introduction to what is available on the Web by women. The first section will take you through links about five major nineteenth century poets: Alice and Phoebe Cary, Rose Terry Cooke, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and Helen Hunt Jackson. The next section is a brief introduction to the amazing variety of poetry by women published in magazines and newspapers of the nineteenth century. Finally, the last section touches on private writings by women who chose not to publish, but still circulated their writing. The Poets Poetry in Magazines and Newspapers Private Writings The Poets Print exploded in the nineteenth century and women filled the ranks of writers needed for numerous magazines, newspapers and journals. While traditional thought may be that women were limited only to the domestic role, a surprising number wrote and published poetry. Paula Bennet's Nineteenth Century American Women Poets: An Anthology and Emily Stipes Watts's Poetry of American Women from 1632 to 1945 are representative of the recent movement to recover the women poets of the nineteenth century. Paula Bennet includes a broad range of poets, dividing her anthology into a section of “major poets” of the century and a section of a broad range women's poetry published in magazines and journals. I follow her divisions here, giving a brief representation of published poets available on the Web.

Prophetic Women - A Journey into Our Unitarian Past by Lynn Nugent January 25, 2004 Today I want to share with you some of my explorations of one source that inspires our Unitarian tradition: What does the word prophetic mean in this context? The word prophet comes from biblical tradition and it used to make me think of angry men railing at the Israelites. However, since studying feminist theology, I have come to understand that being a prophet in part involves knowing the right thing to do and taking a stand; steering others along the course towards justice, no matter how unpopular it may be at the time. When looked at in this way, there is no question that the use of the word prophetic is an accurate descriptor for the women I will talk about to today: Listen to the words of Mary Wollstonecraft, who wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792: It would be over 100 years before those prophetic words began to take shape in reality as women won the right to vote. Nette Brown Blackwell (1825-1921) holds the honour of being the first American woman to be ordained as a minister by a congregation. Why by a congregation? Even though Nette completed her training and course work for ministry in 1850, the Congregationalist church refused to ordain her. Those rebel souls who called her to be their minister ordained her anyway. William Ellery Channing, a well-known Unitarian minister, encouraged her and Nette eventually became a Unitarian. When her children were young, she kept her brain active by writing articles on social reform, philosophy and science. She was among the first women to be elected to membership in the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
