Betsy Mix Cowlesa champion of equality whose circle of acquaintances included Frederick Douglass, Abby Kelley, and William Lloyd Garrisonis a brilliant example of what an educated and independent woman can accomplish. A staunch defender of abolitionism, Cowles also took up the cause of women's rights and dedicated her life to the advocacy of women's access to education, equal rights, and independence in the preCivil War era. The life of this devoted social reformer illuminates the struggles and historical developments relating to abolitionism and the fledgling women's movement during one of the most contentious periods in American history.
