Bøker av L. Maria Child

A portrait from Lydia Maria Child of the cultural realities of New York as an emerging urban centre with essays on the Amistad captives and women's suffrage. In this introduction and annotation of the text, Mills reconstructs the biographical and cultural context surrounding the book's publication.

"One rarely sees a body of documentation as richly varied in important themes. This is a cross-disciplinary treasure, especially since so many of Child's concerns foreshadowed issues now central to our time."--Sterling Stuckey, University of California, Riverside
