Radical friend: Amy Kirby Post and her activist worlds: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Radical friend: Amy Kirby Post and her activist worlds" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

A pillar of radical activism in nineteenth-century America, Amy Kirby Post (1802-89) participated in a wide range of movements and labored tirelessly to orchestrate ties between issues, causes, and activists. A conductor on the Underground Railroad, co-organizer of the 1848 Rochester Womans Rights Convention, and a key figure in progressive Quaker, antislavery, feminist, and spiritualist communities, Post sustained movements locally, regionally, and nationally over many decades. But more than simply telling the story of her role as a local leader or a bridge between local and national arenas of activism, Nancy A. Hewitt argues that Posts radical vision offers a critical perspective on current conceptualizations of social activism in the nineteenth century.
