Who is Sarah Harrison from Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America and what is their importance?

Sarah Harrison is mentioned in the Virginia "gender ways" section. She is cited as having been exceptionally outspoken with respect to improved women's rights and intimations of genuine gender equality rather than acceptance of a subservient position. When asked if she would "love, honor and obey" her groom, she bravely broke with tradition and said that she would not agree to obey him. This aberration continued until the man agreed to marry her on the basis of this modification of oaths, at which point she agreed. As such, she stands as a testament to having the courage to refuse to take the customary oath when she was not really willing to abide by it.
