An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South

''An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South'' is an abolitionist treatise written by Angelina Emily Grimké in 1836. Addressing Southern women, Grimké urges them to reconsider their views on slavery and to take action against it, using biblical references and moral arguments. This work is notable for being the only appeal of its kind from a Southern woman to her peers, advocating for social reform and women's influence in the abolitionist movement. Grimké faced significant backlash, including public criticism and the burning of her work in South Carolina, highlighting the contentious nature of her message.
