Back in December I wrote a short commentary on Elizabeth Heyrick and the concept of “immediacy” in abolitionist (and reformist) thought for the UK-based Elizabeth Heyrick Society which does amazing work in keeping her legacy alive. 👇🏻 www.elizabethheyrick.org/news/elizabe...

Elizabeth Heyrick and the concept of “immediacy” in abolitionist thought
Heyrick’s call for immediate abolition urged women to act from home, linking faith to social reform.
