As one of the midwives who helped birth the South Carolina feminist organization the Grimke Sisters in 2002, it was a kick to stumble on this funky little video celebrating these exceptional women – Sarah and Angelina Grimke – homegirls from Charleston who made history by thinking big and living large.

The women who so inspired us that we named our group for them deserve a monument on our State House lawn, littered as it is with statuary dedicated to our state’s historical figures (sadly, without regard to their humanitarian records). That’s not bloody likely, but we can remember the Grimke sisters here.

And if you want to join the Grimke Sisters group online, you can subscribe to the listserv by sending e-mail to GrimkeSisters-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
