SMITH GRIMKE (1786-1834), was born in Charleston; graduated at Yale in 1807; was a successful lawyer, and in 1826–1830 was a member of the See also:state See also:Senate, in which he, almost alone of the prominent lawyers of the state, opposed See also:nullification; he strongly advocated spelling-reform, See also:temperance and See also:absolute non-resistance, and published Addresses on See also:Science, See also:Education and Literature (1831). His See also:early intellectual See also:influence on Sarah was strong.
In her thirteenth See also:year Sarah was godmother to her See also:sister Angelina. Sarah in 1821 revisited See also:Philadelphia, whither she had accompanied her See also:father on his last illness, and there, having been already dissatisfied with the Episcopal See also:- CHURCH

Church and with the Presbyterian, she became a Quaker; so, too, did Angelina, who joined her in 1829. Both sisters (Angelina first) soon See also:grew into a belief in immediate abolition, strongly censured by many See also:Quakers, who were even more shocked by a sympathetic See also:letter dated " 8th See also:Month, 30th, 1835 " written by Angelina to W. L. See also:Garrison, followed in 1836 by her See also:Appeal to the See also:Christian See also:Women of the South, and at the end of that year, by an See also:Epistle to the See also:Clergy of the See also:Southern States, written by Sarah, who now thoroughly agreed with her younger sister. In the same year, at the invitation of Elizur See also:Wright (1804–1885), corresponding secretary of the American See also:Anti-See also:Slavery Society, Angelina, accompanied by Sarah, began giving talks on slavery, first in private and then in public, so that in 1837, when they set to See also:work in See also:Massachusetts, they had to secure the use of large halls. Their speaking from public platforms resulted in a letter issued by some members of the See also:General Association of Congregational Ministers of Massachusetts, calling on the clergy to See also:close their
churches to women exhorters; Garrison denounced the attack on the Grimke sisters and See also:Whittier ridiculed it in his poem " The See also:Pastoral Letter." Angelina pointedly answered See also:Miss See also:Beecher on the Slave Question (1837) in letters in the Liberator. Sarah, who had never forgotten that her studies had been curtailed because she was a girl, contributed to the See also:Boston Spectator papers on " The See also:Province of Woman " and published Letters on the See also:Condition of Women and the Equality of the Sexes (1838)—the real beginning of the " woman's rights " See also:movement in See also:America, and at the See also:- TIME (0.

In 1838 Angelina married See also:Theodore See also:Dwight Weld (1803–1895), a reformer and abolition orator and pamphleteer, who had taken See also:part in the famous See also:Lane See also:Seminary debates in 1834, had See also:left the Seminary for the lecture See also:platform when the anti-slavery society was broken up by the Lane trustees, but had lost his See also:voice in 1836 and had become editor of the publications of the American Anti-Slavery Society).
