The Agitators
Three Friends Who Fought for Abolition and Women's Rights
Dorothy Wickenden
Three women, Harriet Tubman, Frances Seward, and Martha Wright became unlikely collaborators in the fight for abolition and women’s rights in mid-19th century Auburn, New York. Despite their differing backgrounds, they refused to abide by laws that denied equal rights and supported each other as they worked towards full citizenship for blacks and women. Through their stories, reconstructed from letters, diaries, and public appearances, The Agitators provides a unique perspective on the American stories of abolition, the Underground Railroad, women's rights activism, and the Civil War.

As we close out Women's History Month, I’d like to recommend a book I loved so much I blurbed it. Dorothy Wickenden’s The Agitators tells the story of three women who fought for abolition & women’s rights, and I hope it'll inspire you as much as it did me. – source
