Description:

The article examines the involvement of women from New Hampshire in the anti-slavery movement, focusing on the years 1834 to 1844. The origins of several organizations are discussed, including the founding of the Dunbarton Female Anti-Slavery Society on July 4, 1837, the Plymouth Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society in February 1833, and the Concord Female Anti-Slavery Society in November 1834. The author describes how New Hampshire women drew inspiration from the publications of three "Anti-Slavery Conventions of American Women" between 1837 and 1839. Examples of violent opposition to female antislavery advocates are presented.
