Walking By Faith

The Diary Of Angelina Grimke, 1828-1835

EDITED BY CHARLES WILBANKS

Brief Description:
The diary that Angelina Grimke (1805-1879) kept from 1828 through 1835 offers a window into the spiritual struggles and personal evolution of a woman who would become one of the nation's most fervent abolitionists. A native of Charleston, South Carolina, and an heir to a family enterprise dependent on slave labor, Grimke was an unlikely supporter of emancipation. Only after years of inner turmoil did she leave the South to join her sister Sarah in the crusade against slavery. This book chronicles the private spiritual and intellectual journey that preceded her public career and pushed her to the forefront of the abolitionist movement.
