          Margaretta Forten (September 11, 1806 – January 13, 1875) was an African-American suffragist and abolitionist.[1]

          Biography

          Margaretta Forten was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on September 11, 1806.

          Her parents, Charlotte Vandine Forten and James Forten, were abolitionists, and her father founded the American Moral Reform Society.[2]

          Because women were excluded from the American Anti-Slavery Society, Forten, with her mother Charlotte and sisters Sarah and Harriet, co-founded the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society with ten other women in 1833.[2][3
