“I ask no favors for my sex. I surrender not our claim to equality. All I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet from off our necks.” — Sarah Grimké First published in 1837, Letters on the Equality of the Sexes, and the Condition of Woman remains one of the most radical and enduring texts in the fight for gender equality. Written by pioneering abolitionist and feminist Sarah Grimké, these powerful letters confront the systemic oppression of women in religion, law, and society with unwavering clarity and moral conviction. In an era when women were expected to remain silent, Grimké raised her voice—and in doing so, laid the groundwork for generations of activists to come. This powerful modern edition brings her visionary ideas to a new audience, reminding us that the struggle for justice and equality is far from over.
