Lydia Maria Francis Child was one of 19th-century America's most remarkable people. She was an abolitionist, women's rights activist, opponent of American expansionism, Indian rights activist, novelist, and journalist.
In these letters, her wonderful intelligence and wit shine through during some of the most dramatic and important events in American history. Best known perhaps for her poem, "Over the River and Through the Woods," Child was a force in American activism and literature, sometimes shocking her audiences with issues such as opposition to male dominance and white suppremacy.
She sympathized with radical abolitionist, John Brown, and exchanged letters with him, included in this volume.
