The novel begins on Sarah's eleventh birthday, when she is given ownership over Handful, who is to be her handmaid. "The Invention of Wings" follows the next thirty -five years of their lives. Inspired in part by the historical figure of Sarah Grimke (a feminist, suffragist and, importantly, an abolitionist), Kidd allows herself to go beyond the record to flesh out the inner lives of all the characters, both real and imagined"-- Sue Monk Kidd Grimk,̌ Sarah Moore 1792-1873 Fiction Antislavery movements Fiction Feminists South Carolina Fiction Women's rights Fiction 813/.6 9780670024780 (hardback) 0670024783 (hardback) 2013028185 140205 20190501233642.0 849719161
