A Woman’s Life Work [EPUB ebook] 

Ajutor

‘A Woman’s Life Work’ by Laura S. Haviland is a compelling autobiography that transcends mere personal history to become a chronicle of social justice and change in 19th-century America. This book offers an intimate glimpse into Haviland’s life as an evangelically-minded Quaker and later a Wesleyan Methodist, illustrating her unyielding commitment to education and social justice.

Born in Canada and raised in New York, Haviland’s journey begins with her move to Michigan after marrying at sixteen. Here, she co-founded the Raisin Institute, a pioneering academy that welcomed students of all races. Following her husband’s death, Haviland played a crucial role in the underground railroad, devising daring schemes to aid slaves’ escape and, during the Civil War, organizing relief for soldiers and former slaves. Her narrative vividly captures the atrocities of slavery and war, enriched by personal stories and a slave narrative from ‘Uncle Philip’.

A testament to grassroots activism, this book is a profound exploration of black-white relationships, the interplay between Quakerism and evangelical Christianity, and the relentless fight for justice and equality.
