Chapter 3 offers a materially focused consideration of the practical minutiae of memory work among nineteenth-century women’s right advocates. It considers the collaboration between English Quaker Anne Knight (1786–1862) and Parisian socialist Jeanne Deroin (1805–1894), which began in the aftermath of the events in Paris in 1848. The chapter argues that following the February Revolution and abolition of slavery, Knight and Deroin, both ardent women’s rights advocates, promoted memories of antislavery to inform the usable past of a transnational women’s rights community. Through their transatlantic networking, their circle compiled and made available an archive of memories and materials of Garrisonian abolitionism, reprinting, for instance, William Lloyd Garrison’s declaration of principles for the National Anti-Slavery Convention from 1833. By circulating these materials, they promoted a cosmopolitan outlook on abolition and women’s emancipation which contrasted both with the national orientation of Parisian women’s rights colleagues and with that of prominent Republicans, who sought to commemorate abolition as a victory of French Republicanism.
