Angelina Emily Grimké Weld was a prominent American abolitionist, political activist, and women’s rights advocate. She was known for her compelling speeches and writings that promoted the abolition of slavery and women’s rights. Grimké passionately argued for freedom and equality for all, drawing on natural rights theory, the US Constitution, Christian beliefs, and her own experiences. Despite facing opposition for addressing mixed audiences, she fearlessly advocated for women’s participation in political discussions. Grimké furthered her activism by marrying abolitionist leader Theodore Dwight Weld and continuing her work in the suffrage movement.
