Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society

The Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society was founded in 1833 in Boston, Massachusetts, as one of the first women-led organizations dedicated to the abolition of slavery in the United States. The society aimed to advocate for the rights of enslaved people and to educate the public about the evils of slavery. Its members organized lectures, published pamphlets, and raised funds to support abolitionist efforts. Notably, the society was instrumental in promoting women's involvement in social reform, setting a precedent for future women's rights movements. Their work contributed significantly to the larger abolitionist movement leading up to the Civil War.
