Description and Table of Contents
Description
Lydia Maria Child presents the life of the dynamic nineteenth-century writer who, through her pen and at great personal cost to her literary career, spoke out for those silenced in society -- slaves, Native Americans, women, and the poor. Her Appeal in Favor of that Class of Americans Called Africans and several antislavery leaders -- including Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner -- credited it with converting them to the cause. An inspirational
look at an extraordinary woman, Lydia Maria Child is the story of how one person fought for the basic human right of freedom -- for all.
