Their uncle Freeman was the president of the faculty at Farmers\u2019 College a few miles south and they were often guests at his house. \u00a0In 1835, their \u00a0mother died and in 1838 Alice’s first major poem, “The Child of Sorrow,” was published.\u00a0Horace Greeley visited the sisters at their farm in Mt. Healthy. Alice wrote in 1848 for Women’s Rights in Susan B. Anthony’s “The Revolution” newspaper.<\/p>\n

In 1850, the sisters decided to move to New York City where they held a weekly salon in their home and were involved in the women\u2019s rights movement.\u00a0 Alice\u2019s poetry was published in the National Era, Washington, D.C., the abolitionist paper that serialized\u00a0Uncle Tom’s Cabin<\/i> by Harriet Beecher Stowe. \u00a0\u00a0The National Era Prospectus<\/i> stated:<\/p>\n

While due attention will be paid to Current Events, Congressional Proceedings, General Politics and Literature, the great aim of the paper will be a complete discussion of the Question of Slavery, and an exhibition of the Duties of the Citizen in relation to it; especially will it explain and advocate the leading Principles and Measures of the <\/i>Liberty Party<\/i><\/a>, seeking to do this, not in the spirit of the Party, but in the love of Truth\u2014not for the triumph of Party, but for the establishment of Truth…<\/i>[2]<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The sisters established a Sunday Solon regularly attended by many thinkers of the day:<\/p>\n
