Publisher's Synopsis

An Essay On Slavery And Abolitionism: With Reference To The Duty Of American Females is a book written by Catharine E. Beecher. The book focuses on the issue of slavery in America and the role that women can play in the abolitionist movement. Beecher argues that women have a unique responsibility to speak out against slavery and to work towards its abolition. She also discusses the ways in which slavery is harmful to both slaves and slave owners, and how it undermines the principles of democracy and freedom that America was founded on. Throughout the book, Beecher draws on her own experiences as a teacher and advocate for women's education to illustrate the importance of education in the fight against slavery. The book is a powerful and persuasive argument for the abolition of slavery and the role that women can play in achieving this goal. It is an important historical document that sheds light on the early abolitionist movement in America and the role of women in that movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
