Birney is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the lives and contributions of the Grimké sisters, who emerged as significant figures in the fight against slavery and for women's rights in America. It delves into their upbringing, personal struggles, and activism, framing their journeys within the broader context of social reform.  The opening of this biography introduces Sarah and Angelina Grimké, their elite background in Charleston, South Carolina, and the complex influences that shaped their views on slavery and women's rights. The narrative begins with insights into their family, particularly their father, Judge Grimké, and hints at an early consciousness in the sisters regarding the injustices surrounding them, especially in relation to slavery. Through Sarah’s reflections, the text reveals her formative years, including her compassion towards enslaved people and her burgeoning desire for knowledge that transcended the expectations of women of her time. Additionally, the opening chapters outline the sisters' familial bonds and early experiences that would ultimately lead them to advocate for radical societal changes, conveying a sense of purpose that would define their lives and work.
