Lydia Maria Francis Child

    Lydia Maria Child was een activist en schrijfster die haar werken gebruikte om op te komen voor de rechten van de onderdrukten. Haar romans, pamfletten en kinderwerken richtten zich vaak op de verdediging van tot slaaf gemaakte mensen, vrouwen en Native Americans. Child kenmerkte zich door een sterk rechtvaardigheidsgevoel, waarbij ze literaire creatie combineerde met activisme. Haar schrijven wordt beschouwd als een belangrijke bijdrage aan het discours over gelijkheid en menselijkheid van haar tijd.

      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
