Examines benevolent work performed by middle- and upper-middle-class American women from the 1820s to 1885 and offers a new interpretation of the shifting political contexts and meanings of this long tradition of women's reform activism.

In 1846 - two years before the Seneca Falls convention that launched the movement for women's rights in the US - six women in upstate New York petitioned their state's constitutional convention, demanding ""equal, and civil and political rights with men"". Who were these women, and does their story change the story of women's rights?
