This talk will examine the pivotal role of Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna and Princess Isabel, two royal women in the emancipation of serfs in Russia in 1861 and slaves in Brazil in 1888. These two women were critical actors in the great drama of emancipation, but their contribution has largely been forgotten. In an entirely male dominated political sphere these women through a combination of moral conviction, political intelligence and courage were able to decisively influence the course of emancipation in both countries. Female agency, politics and power will be the central themes of this talk.
