Crusading Daughters of Concord and Boston, Revisited


  • The Concord Museum 53 Cambridge Turnpike Concord, MA, 01742 United States (map)

The social, cultural, and spiritual movement we remember as New England Transcendentalism was a complex phenomenon. Commonly associated with the individualism of Walden, it had also a powerful social and political aspect exemplified by Thoreau himself and by the too-little-known crusading daughters of Concord and Boston. Please join Distinguished Professor Sandra Petrulionis, author of To Set This World Right: The Antislavery Movement in Thoreau’s Concord, in this timely discussion of the New England activists who fought for women’s rights and the abolition of slavery HERE.
