The Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society's first leaders were Lucretia Mott, Lydia White, Esther Moore, and Sidney Ann Lewis. These four women women all attended American Anti-slavery Society(AASS) meetings, but they weren't allowed to become members because they were women. The AASS encouraged the women to start PFASS so women could have their own group. The PFASS held their first meeting on December 9, 1833. Twenty-Two women including the four main leaders attended. The PFASS worked very quickly on their constitution and finished it five days later, on December 14, 1833. Women in the PFASS were mostly from the merchant and artisan families, who are part of the Upper Class. Women who were part of the group were also mostly Quaker. Some of the women in PFASS belonged to the wealthiest families in Philadelphia. These women did not have to worry about anything. They had the privilege of working from inside of their home. This allowed them to focus their time to working on the PFASS. The PFASS had a more radical political view, which you could compare to William Lloyd Garrison political view. Just like Garrison, both wanted a quick end to slavery and wanted to see better women's rights. PFASS gave money to the Garrison's newspaper and the American Anti-Slavery Society's paper. They also supplied them with books and pamphlets informing people about what was actually happening to slaves. The PFASS fundraised throughout the year. They would give about 85% of the the funds they raised to the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society. Over the 17 years that the PFASS fundraised for they donated about $14,025 to the Penn. Anti-Slavery Society. These fund-raisers gave the PFASS a confidence boost from not having as much political power, at the same time, it helped give them equal power. Even when slavery was abolished after the Civil War, the PFASS kept working to help improve black suffrage. The PFASS didn't disband until 1870, when the 15th amendment was ratified. The 15th amendment gave all male citizens, 21 or older, the right to vote.
