She would live her life with these principles as her guiding light, fighting slavery and working on behalf of women's rights alongside the likes of Frederick Douglas, who said of her, “She spoke to the world through every line of her countenance... bearing a message of light and love.” America in the 19th century would not have been the same without her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJamie Stiehm\u003c\/b\u003e is a Washington syndicated columnist, historian, and author whose work has appeared in newspapers, large and small, in 40 states across America.
