Abstract:
This history analyzes women's antislavery petitions, the speeches calling women to petition and public reaction from 1831 to 1865. It argues that petitioning not only made significant steps to abolish slavery but also contributed toward transforming women's political identity

The unfortunate word "petition"What can women do? -- A departure from their place -- A firebrand in our hands -- It's none of your business, gals -- Discreditable to the national character -- To shut against them this door -- Afterword, we can no longer be neglected or forgotten.
