In the 1830s, the role of women was not prominent in the public debate because at that time women did not have the same rights as men.

During the 1830s one of the political issues of public debate in the United States was slavery because there were pro-slavery states (southern states) and anti-slavery states (northern states).

On the other hand, politics was dominated by men, at that time women were not allowed to participate in politics, they did not even have the right to vote and their role was in the home taking care of children and housework.

Therefore, if a woman participated actively in public debate aroused considerable criticism because two controversial aspects of the moment were added:

  • The participation of women in public policy
  • Slavery
