Lydia Maria Francis Child

    Lydia Maria Child war eine Aktivistin und Schriftstellerin, die ihre Werke nutzte, um sich für die Rechte der Unterdrückten einzusetzen. Ihre Romane, Pamphlete und Kinderbücher befassten sich oft mit der Verteidigung von Sklaven, Frauen und amerikanischen Ureinwohnern. Child zeichnete sich durch einen starken Sinn für soziale Gerechtigkeit aus und verband literarisches Schaffen mit Aktivismus. Ihr Schreiben gilt als wichtiger Beitrag zum Diskurs über Gleichheit und Menschlichkeit ihrer Zeit.

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
