After my book club read "The Invention of Wings" by Sue Monk Kidd, I was curious to learn more about the Grimke sisters. This book did the job. It was well researched and written and gave me a real appreciation for the struggles of these two pioneers of both the abolition movement and the women's suffrage movement.

I first read this extraordinary book almost forty years ago and today found it remained moving and meaningful. These visionary women are heroes, brilliant women of tremendous courage who, though largely unremembered today, had a profound effect on our national history. Lerner's work is masterful and does them real justice.
