Many of the works have been taken directly from historical texts and reconstructed as erasure and persona poems. By focusing on the role of women in the anti-slavery movement, I hope to illustrate how interconnected the fight for gender and racial equality truly is, and how that fact influenced many female abolitions to fight for the eradication of slavery.en-USWomen abolitionists PoetryPresentation
