And The Spirit Moved Them: The Lost Radical History of America’s First Feminists

Helen LaKelly Hunt

Contains 12 pages of black and white archival photographs, advertisements, flyers, and other primary documents.

Intersectionality is one of the most important and widely discussed elements of contemporary feminism and online social justice movements. This historical account looks at an incredibly early American example of pre-suffrage feminists and abolitionists organizing in a way that was intersectional, considering multiple identities of class, gender, and race.

The Seneca Falls Convention is widely cited in history books, but much knowledge about the Anti-Slavery Convention a couple of years prior has been lost.

Helen is an incredibly active public speaker and featured frequently on national media, all which will be occasions to promote the book. She is a leader in women’s philanthropy, which she ties to her historical research, and positions her as a relevant figure to talk about women’s issues around organizing and fundraising.
