Lydia Maria Francis Child

    Lydia Maria Child fu un'attivista e scrittrice che utilizzò le sue opere per difendere i diritti degli oppressi. I suoi romanzi, pamphlet e scritti per bambini si concentrarono spesso sulla difesa degli schiavi, delle donne e dei nativi americani. La Child si distinse per un forte senso di giustizia sociale, unendo la creazione letteraria all'attivismo. La sua scrittura è considerata un contributo importante al discorso sull'uguaglianza e sull'umanità del suo tempo.

      A Romance of the Republic2024
    • This autobiographical account by a former slave is one of the few extant narratives written by a woman. Written and published in 1861, it delivers an unflinching portrayal of the brutality of slave life. Jacobs speaks frankly of her master's abuse and her eventual escape, in an inspirational account of one woman's dauntless spirit and faith.--From publisher description
