Sarah Moore GrimkÈ (November 26, 1792 December 23, 1873) was an American abolitionist and feminist, widely held to be the mother of the women's suffrage movement. She was the author of the first developed public argument for women's equality. She worked to rid the United States of slavery, Christian churches which had become "unchristian," and prejudice against African Americans and women.  Her writings gave suffrage workers such as Lucy Stone, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott several arguments and ideas that they would need to help end slavery and begin the women's suffrage movement.  Sarah GrimkÈ is categorized as not only an abolitionist but also a feminist because she challenged the Society of Friends, which touted women's inclusion but denied her. It was through her abolitionist pursuits that she became more sensitive to the restrictions on women. She so opposed being subject to men that she refused to marry. Both Sarah and Angelina became very involved in the anti-slavery movement and published volumes of literature and letters on the topic. When they became well known, they began lecturing around the country on the issue. At the time women did not speak in public meetings, so Sarah was viewed as a leader in feminist issues. She openly challenged women's domestic roles.The first volume of History of Woman Suffrage, published in 1881, is inscribed to the memory of the GrimkÈ sisters, among others. In 1998, the GrimkÈ sisters were inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame..."
