Overlooked by historians for over half a century following her death, Ernestine L. Rose (1810-1892) was one of the foremost orators and social reformers of her era. A fearless human rights activist, she fought for racial equality, women's rights, freethought and religious freedom, and she can be considered a forerunner of twentieth-century activists in civil rights and the women's movement. Rose was a pioneer in many movements, articulating the notion that all Americans are endowed with natural rights guaranteed by the Declaration of Independence and by the Constitution. Her passion was to see everyone?women and men, regardless of race, religion or ethnic origin?possessing the civil rights promised by American democracy.
