Hi. So when i think about empowered women, i also am curious about their relationship to their fathers growing up. So you talked a little wit a little bit about their childhood, so im curious to know what was the relationship with each woman with her father. Certainly for Elizabeth Gurley flynn, her father, tom none, was a very flynn, was a very important figure in her life.

They were the abolitionists involved in the movement so on the one hand they are engaged in secret and illegal activities and sheltering and assisting escaped slaves and on the other hand going to public meetings. They are petitioning the legislatures of the states
