Question

How did white women's participation in the abolitionist movement push them to a new understanding of their own rights and oppression?

Answer 1

White women's participation in the abolitionist movement was of great importance for a) said movement, and b) the feminist movement. Having taken part of the anti-slavery crusade, they learned not only how to organize, lead, speak and outline their strategies themselves, but also helped them raise awareness over their own struggles they had to face as women living in a patriarchal society.
