The Early Days
Frances “Fanny” Wright was born in 1795 in Dundee, Scotland. She moved to the United States in 1818.
Fanny supported the abolition of
slavery. She also defended equal rights for women and the replacement of legal marriage by a union based on moral obligation.
In 1825, Fanny bought 2000 acres in Tennessee which she called the Nashoba commune. She bought slaves and then freed them to live at Nashoba. (Pictured at left)
