Why do some feminists advocate malefemale equality while others remain committed to gender difference? What are the sociocultural foundations of these seemingly opposing gender constructs and why has the American feminist movement failed to articulate an ideology that encompasses both?Debra Gold Hansen explores the origins of the equalityversusdifference debate by examining the Boston Female AntiSlavery Society, which disbanded in 1840 over this very issue. After establishing a historical framework for women's lives in early nineteenthcentury Boston, Hansen analyzes the membership of the Society along the lines of race, religion, and socioeconomic status. Through her findings, she concludes that many of the issues that estranged female abolitionists in antebellum Boston continue to divide women today, testifying not to the strength of the bonds between women but to the fragility of those ties.
