Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the first speech given by the author Frances Wright in Masonic Hall, New York, on 28th October, 1838. The author, a prominent advocate for equal rights since the 1820s, was a controversial figure, and her viewpoints on individual liberty and the importance of political action were often considered radical. This speech was no different, and it sparked intense debate and even violence in the city. By analyzing the political climate of the time and the author's personal experiences, this book sheds light on the challenges faced by reformers in the early days of the American republic and provides valuable insights into the development of political thought and activism in the United States. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of democracy, free speech, and the role of women in public life.
