The evils of slavery, and the cure of slavery. The first proved by the opinions of southerners themselves, the last shown by historical evidence. 1836

Description

Lyda Maria Child was a journalist, editor scholar, and one of the most well-known novelists of the nineteenth century. After she began writing for the anti-slavery movement in 1831, her radical views resulted in a decrease in her popularity. From 1841-1843, she served as the editor of the National Anti-Slavery Standard, the publication of the American Anti-Slavery Society. After the Civil War ended, she supported woman suffrage as the founder of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association.
