Meet his extraordinary warm-blooded English -born wife, Louisa, who suffered through the drama years to become a great supporter of ending slavery in the United States.  Finally finding her true self she entered the crusade to give American married woman protection from abusive husbands, and pioneered the great advance towards being able to vote.
