“The women of the sewing circle were radicals ahead of their time. In advocating dress reform, equal rights and equal pay, women’s rights in divorce and child custody, abolition, pacifism, and choice of last name, they pushed for a fairer deal for women. Abby Hills Price formulated a philosophy that she brought to the Women’s Rights Convention, where it inspired future feminists such as Simone de Beauvoir and Betty Friedan.” –Valley Breeze
