The agitators
This book tells the joint story of insubordination against slavery and women's oppression of three friends: Harriet Tubman, Martha Coffin Wright and France A. Seward. Divided in four time periods between 1821 and 1875, it describes the efforts of these women who met each other in Auburn, New York. Tubman rescued almost seventy enslaved people out of Maryland, Wright helped to organize the first women's rights meeting in America and Seward was the anti-slavery politician William Seward's wife. Both Wright and Seward transformed themselves from conventional homemakers into abolitionists who drew inspiration from Tubman.
