Memoir Of Frances Wright: The Pioneer Woman In The Cause Of Human Rights (1855) is a book written by Amos Gilbert that tells the story of Frances Wright, a Scottish-born writer, lecturer, and social reformer who played a significant role in the early women's rights movement and the abolition of slavery in the United States. The book chronicles Wright's life from her childhood in Scotland to her travels in America, where she established a utopian community and advocated for women's suffrage, free love, and education for all. Gilbert draws on primary sources, including Wright's own writings and letters, to provide a detailed and intimate portrait of this pioneering woman and her contributions to the cause of human rights.
