Zilpha Elaw (c. 1790 – 1873)[1] was an African-American preacher and spiritual autobiographer. She has been cited as "one of the first outspoken black women in the United States."[2]Mitzi Smith suggests that Elaw and other Black women of the time such as Old Elizabeth used Pauline biblical texts to develop their own "politics of origins".[3]
