註釋Nineteenth-century women reformers such as the radical abolitionists have frequently been seen as having abandoned the constraints of religion in order to pursue their personal and political goals. The subjects of this book—Angelina Grimke, arah Grimke, Sallie Holley, Abby Kelley, and Lucretia Mott—did indeed reject what they found to be the repressive features of the Christianity of their day. Their religiosity, however, remained fundamental to their world view. In this book, Anna M. Speicher explores the dimensions of this evolving faith, which was critical in shaping their decisions and actions throughout their lives. She highlights the leadership these women exercised within the antislavery movement. Reaching beyond the typical, yet important, supporting role women played in the abolition movement of fund raising, petition drives, and organizing, these women were particularly influential within women's reform circles. "In the Bonds of the Gospel" points to another level of organization in which a few women, along with their supporters, affected the ideology and tactics of the antislavery movement as a whole.
