It considers the tensions which exist in the portrayal of these women in the sources – between the one-dimensional victims of contemporary newspaper accounts a…
Women, Dissent, and Anti-Slavery in Britain and America, 1790–1865
As historians have gradually come to recognize, the involvement of women was central to the anti-slavery cause in both Britain and the United States. Like their male counterparts, women abolitionists did not all speak with one voice. Among the major differences between women were their religious affiliations, an aspect of their commitment that has not been studied in detail. Yet it is clear that the desire to live out and practice their religious…

A Virago-Errant in Enchanted Armor: Anne Royall's 1829 Trial as a Common Scold
In mid-July 1829 the editor of the New York Observer offered his readers piece of gossip from Washington: Mrs. Royal [sic] has been presented to the Grand Jury as nuisance, and bill has been found her. Assuming his readers' acquaintance with Royall, the editor reported that she had come into the court to obtain list of the Grand Jury. Such was her reputation, the editor suggested, even the respect and honor due to the Grand Jurors' office would b…
The Boundaries of Femininity: The Travels and Writings of Mrs. Anne Royall, 1823–31
Between 1817 and 1830 Anne Royall traversed the length and breadth of the United States writing a series of books on her travels, which she subsequently published and sold on her later tours. She traveled at a time when journeys could be dangerous and unpredictable, and there were occasions when she was insulted, mobbed, and physically assaulted. This article examines Royall's religious and political views, and her role as a partisan woman at a p…
