in 1833 Angelina wrote a letter to William Lloyd Garrison , the editor of the main abolitionist newspaper, The Liberator. She changed the sisters' lives forever. William Lloyd Garrison published her letter and inadvertently put the sisters at the forefront of the fight to abolish slavery. This act infuriated the Quakers of Philadelphia because Quaker members were not allowed to do anything without the permission of the church.

Angelina Grimke and her sister Sarah Grimke were legends in their own lifetimes. Together these South Carolina sisters made history: daring to speak before “promiscuous” or mixed crowds of men and women, publishing some of the most powerful anti-slavery tracts of the antebellum era, and stretching the boundaries of women’s public role as the first women to testify before a state legislature on the question of African American rights.

They denounced slavery and racial prejudice which was extreme even for radical abolitionists of that time. They lectured on anti-slavery throughout New England as the first female agents of the American Anti-Slavery Society and enlisted women in the abolitionist cause. They also became pioneers in the women's rights movement.

They were powerful writers, although Sarah was an even better writer. They kept summaries of the abolitionist arguments which would eventually lead to the Civil War. Sarah's work addressed, 150 years early, many issues that are still familiar to the modern feminist movement.

They were daughters of a slave-holding judge, and developed a dislike of slavery at early ages. They joined many abolition groups and fought diligently to secure the rights of slaves. In their efforts, the sisters discovered their passion for women’s rights and continued their quest for freedom for all.

They spent the rest of their lives teaching school for girls and remained active in abolition and women’s rights. They published many books and pamphlets supporting their ideas such as when Sarah published "Epistle to the Clergy of the Southern States" in 1836 and Angelina published an "Appeal to the Women of the Nominally Free States" in 1837.

The Grimke sisters were among the first women to speak publicly in the US. They argued that white women had a natural bond with black women specifically slaves.
