A Journey of Education

In a world where education for women was considered a luxury, Maggie fought tooth and nail to acquire knowledge. With the help of a sympathetic aunt, she managed to receive a private education that molded her into a formidable scholar from a tender age. Unbeknownst to her peers, Maggie secretly studied biology, mathematics, and history, filling her mind with a wealth of wisdom.

The transformative power of education became evident when Maggie, at the age of sixteen, published her first scientific paper in a renowned journal. She was hailed as a prodigious mind, defying the constraints of a patriarchal society that sought to suppress female intellect. Her groundbreaking research on genetic inheritance earned her recognition from esteemed scholars worldwide.

A Champion for Women's Rights

Maggie's journey was not solely focused on personal achievements. She understood that her accomplishments were meaningless if she couldn't pave the way for others. Determined to break the glass ceiling, she devoted her life to the advocacy of women's rights and empowerment. With a flair for public speaking, Maggie's eloquence captivated audiences, challenging the ingrained biases and discriminatory practices faced by women worldwide.

She relentlessly campaigned for women's suffrage, tirelessly organizing protests, writing influential articles, and speaking at public events. Her charisma and passion won the hearts of people from all walks of life, awakening a collective conscience that led to the eventual acknowledgment of women's voting rights.

“[The author] tells this remarkable story with honesty and compassion. Readers will find a wealth of new information not only about Kelley’s outstanding contribution to abolitionism but about the movements to bring about the end of slavery and to advance the cause of women.” —Mari Jo Buhle, Brown University


In the tumultuous years before the Civil War, a young white woman from a Quaker background came to embody commitment to the cause of antislavery and equal rights for black people. Abby Kelley became the abolitionist movement’s chief money-raiser and organizer and its most radial member. She traveled hundreds of miles to awaken the country to the evils of slavery, braving hardship and prejudice as well as opening the way for other women, black and white, to take leadership roles. Now the full story of this principled woman has been told in Dorothy Sterling’s compelling biography.
