__I Am Project Entry number 1, Phase 1.5__

For my I Am Project, I am Sarah Moore Grimke. Though I had no prior knowledge of who she was, after reading a few words in my textbook about her, I was instantly intrigued. Sarah Moore Grimke was no ordinary woman. She never got married, fought for both slavery and women's rights, and continued her work till her death. Though she was quite a celebrated woman, I wish to learn more and delve into unsearched territory about Ms. Grimke's life. For instance, one of the questions I had was, "How did Ms. Grimke deal with the criticism that was aimed towards her sister and faithful companion, Angelina Grimke, and herself. After all, it was very unexpected for a southerner (she was born in Charleston, South Carolina) much less a woman, to speak up and do some of the things she did. I'd also like to immerse myself in the thoughts of this strong-spirited feminist and wonder if she would consider the goals and aspirations that she had dreamt of and hoped for fulfilled in the modern day United States of America. Would she say the same for the world? The last question that popped out of my mind during my research was, "What would Sarah Grimke have to say about the people we idolize or pay special interest to today, such as celebrities?" I look forward to jumping into Sarah Moore Grimke's mind and giving a set of answers I believe she would have answered with to the questions above. Inner Jeong Ah will from now on be investigating and living in the corners of Sarah Moore Grimke's mind.

 * -"Reader #3 (pastoral letter):** The power of woman is her dependence, flowing from that weakness God has given her for her protection. When she assumes the place and tone of a man as a public reformer, her character becomes unnatural, and the way opened for degeneracy and ruin.
 * Narrator:** Sarah Grimke had an answer for that.
 * Reader #2 (Sarah Grimke):** This distinction between the duties of men and women as moral beings! That what is Virtue in men is Vice in women!?! All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks and permit us to stand upright"
