() It's interesting to note that the (socalled) first wave of feminism grew out of the abolitionist movement in the U.S. (As you know doubt know, a large segment (majority?) of the abolitionist movement was women.) Women discovered their own lack of rights while attempting to fight for the rights of slaves. It would be interesting to find out how abolitionists felt about a woman's right to control her reproductive life. Julia Harper
