Example
From the beginning of the abolitionist movement, women played a key role.
They circulated petitions requesting that slavery be abolished. They also
organized social gatherings to spread the abolitionist word and to raise money
for the movement. Some female abolitionists, at great risk to themselves, even
hid runaway slaves in their homes. That’s how determined they were to end the
practice of slavery.
