3. Abolitionist movement

The abolitionist movement was a campaign in the 19th century aimed at ending slavery, particularly in the United States. Many women played significant roles in this movement, using their voices and organizing skills to advocate for freedom and equality. Activists like Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman highlighted the connections between the oppression of enslaved people and women's rights. The movement fostered a sense of solidarity among women, leading to the eventual rise of the women’s rights movement, as many saw parallels between the struggles for racial and gender equality.
