[African-Americana] [American Anti-Slavery Society] Rare Extra Issue of the Emancipator, the Official Newspaper of the American Anti-Slavery Society, Published in the Wake of the Group's 1839 Annual Meeting

Emancipator--Extra
New-York, June 17, 1839. Printed broadsheet newspaper extra, in four columns, 16 1/4 x 11 in. (413 x 279 mm). Creasing from old folds, a few small closed tears along same; scattered toning.

This issue reports on the debate over the "Woman Question" at their recent meeting, and whether or not the names of women should be included as being present in the Society's records. The issue of women's role in the formation of Anti-Slavery societies across the country would lead to a major split in the national movement the following year, with Lewis Tappan and his associates forming the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in 1840.

This lot is located in Philadelphia.
