A pillar of radical activism in nineteenth-century America, Amy
Kirby Post (1802-1889) participated in a wide range of movements
and labored tirelessly to orchestrate ties between issues, causes,
and activists. A conductor on the Underground Railroad,
co-organizer of the 1848 Rochester Woman's Rights Convention, and a
key figure in progressive Quaker, antislavery, feminist, and
spiritualist communities, Post sustained movements locally,
regionally, and nationally over many decades. But more than simply
telling the story of her role as a local leader or a bridge between
local and national arenas of activism, Nancy A. Hewitt argues that
Post's radical vision offers a critical perspective on current
conceptualizations of social activism in the nineteenth century.
While some individual radicals in this period have received
contemporary attention-most notably William Lloyd Garrison,
Frederick Douglass, and Lucretia Mott (all of whom were friends of
Post)-the existence of an extensive network of radical activists
bound together across eight decades by ties of family, friendship,
and faith, has been largely ignored. In this in-depth biography of
Post, Hewitt demonstrates a vibrant radical tradition of social
justice that sought to transform the nation.
