Write two paragraphs on the impact of 19th century women on abolition and women’s rights.  Use the textbook to discuss the impact of Margaret Fuller, Angelina E. Grimke and Sojourner Truth specifically.  Each paragraph should be at least 8 sentences.  At some point address the following: Why did some many that favored abolition also favor the advancement of women’s rights? Use first person pronouns (I, me, my) to represent your own perspective on these writers. 1 sentence per paragraph should be a direct quote from your textbook with the page # cited parenthetically ( ).  Your answers should only be based on material provided in our textbook. You should not be referencing outside sources or research. Suggested outline: Paragraph 1: Give context by comparing abolition movements and feminist movements of 19th century (the 1800s).  Name Fuller, Grimke & Truth as significant figures in these movements. Paragraph 2: Talk about the specific work Fuller, Grimke & Truth did to campaign for these movements.
