Violating conventional mores, women in the North take the abolitionists' cause to their neighborhoods, asking people to join them in signing anti-slavery petitions. Because of slavery's impact on family life and personal dignity, a few women begin speaking out, like Sarah and Angelina Grimke, slave owners in the South Carolina who had committed the illegal act of teaching their slaves to read. The controversy over women speaking in public splits the abolitionist movement, and causes some women to think seriously about their own status in society.
