Answer:

Born on February 20, 1805, Weld was the last of 14 children of prominent jurist John Faucheraud Grimké and Mary Smith. ... Two facts—a childhood spent witnessing slavery's cruelties and her own experiences with the limitations of gender—would shape Weld's life and sense of mission.Sarah and Angelina Grimke grew up in a wealthy, slave owning family in Charleston, South Carolina. By the time each sister reached her twenties, she could no longer bear living with the legal practice of human bondage.n 1835, Angelina joined the interracial Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society, which had been founded two years earlier. In 1836, she wrote a powerful “Appeal to the Christian Women of the South,” which urged southern women to violate social custom to “read,” “pray,” “speak,” and “act” on the issue of slavery.
