Sarah and Angelina Grimké were born in Charleston, South Carolina; Sarah, Nov. 26, 1792; Angelina, Feb. 20, 1805. They were the daughters of the Hon. John Fauchereau Grimké, a colonel in the revolutionary war, and judge of the Supreme Court of South Carolina. His ancestors were German on the father's side, French on the mother's; the Fauchereau family having left France in consequence of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. From his German father and Huguenot mother, Judge Grimké inherited not only intellectual qualities of a high order, but an abiding consciousness of his right to think for himself, a spirit of hostility. | 1 CHAPTER I.

THE GRIMKÉ SISTERS SARAH AND ANGELINA GRIMKÉ THE FIRST AMERICAN WOMEN ADVOCATES OF ABOLITION AND WOMAN S RIGHTS By CATHERINE H. BIRNEY The glory of all glories is the glory of self-sacrifice. 1885 PREFACE. It was with great diffidence from inexperience in literary work of such length that I engaged to write the biography which I now present to the public. But the diaries and letters placed in my hands lightened the work of composition and it has been a labor of affection as well as of duty to pay what tribute I might to the memory of two of the noblest women of the country whom I learned to love and venerate during a residence of nearly two years under the same roof and who to the end of their lives honored me with their friendship.
