No Women Allowed

At the 1840 meeting, AAS members appointed a delegation of men and women to attend the upcoming World Anti-Slavery Convention in London. The organizers of the convention had invited members of antislavery groups around the world to attend the first international convention of abolitionists. Eight American women made the long ocean voyage across the Atlantic to attend the prestigious convention. Lucretia Mott, Sarah Pugh, Abby Kimber, Elizabeth Neall, and Mary Grew represented the Philadelphia and Pennsylvania antislavery groups, while Emily Winslow, Abby Southwick, and Ann Greene Phillips were delegates from Massachusetts. Phillips’s husband, the eloquent abolitionist orator Wendell Phillips, also attended. In addition, recently married Elizabeth Cady Stanton accompanied her husband, Henry Stanton, who went as a delegate of the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society.
