Henry Clarke Wright (August 29, 1797 – August 16, 1870) was an American abolitionist, pacifist, anarchist and feminist. He was fervent in his beliefs and often was more extreme in his rhetoric than other peace activists or abolitionists. Wright was a close friend of William Lloyd Garrison and the two men collaborated on many issues. Wright was also a supporter of universal suffrage and women's rights.
