Margaretta Forten : ウィキペディア英語版 | Margaretta Forten Margaretta Forten (1806-1875) was an African-American suffragist and abolitionist.〔Alexander, Leslie. (''Encyclopedia of African American History, Volume 1'' ) ABC-CLIO (2010) p.1045〕〔("Margaretta Forten" ) on Find a Grave〕 Her parents, Charlotte Vandine Forten and James Forten, were abolitionists, and her father founded the American Anti-Slavery Society, which did not allow women to be members.〔Smith, Jessie Carney and Wynn, Linda T. (''Freedom Facts and Firsts: 400 Years of the African American Civil Rights Experience'' ) Visible Ink Press, 2009. p.242〕 In 1833, Margaretta, Charlotte, and Margaretta's sisters Sarah and Harriet co-founded the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society with fourteen other women.〔〔Christian, Charles Melvin and Bennett, Sari J. (''Black Saga: The African American Experience : a Chronology'' ) Basic Civitas Books, 1998. p.1183〕 Margaretta often served as recording secretary or treasurer of the Society, as well as helping to draw up its organizational charter and serving on its educational committee.〔〔Gordon, Ann Dexter and Collier-Thomas, Betty. (''African American Women and the Vote, 1837-1965'' ) University of Massachusetts Press, 1997. p.33〕 She offered the Society's last resolution, which praised the post-civil war amendments as a success for the anti-slavery cause.〔 The Society distinguished itself at the time as the first of its kind in the United States to be biracial. Although the Society was predominantly white, historian Janice Sumler-Lewis claims the efforts of the Forten women in its key offices enabled it to reflect a black abolitionist perspective that oftentimes was more militant. Margaretta toured and gave speeches in favor of women's suffrage, as well as helping petition drives for the cause.〔〔〔Fels, Anna. (''Necessary Dreams: Ambition in Women's Changing Lives'' ) Random House Digital, 2005. p.173〕 She also worked as a teacher, teaching at a school run by Sarah Mapps Douglass in the 1840s, and opening her own school in 1850.〔 ==References== Notes
