One of the first novels to be published by an African-American woman, this is a compelling tale of what life was like for African-Americans during the time of the Civil War and afterwards. Harper is able to closely scrutinize the social pressures of the time, making the difficult decision to quit “passing” for white and accepting her mixed-race ethnicity.
Об авторе
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911) was an African American novelist and poet who focused her life on abolitionist causes. Because she was born free, she was able to receive an education and published Forest Leaves, her first volume of poetry, at twenty. She continued publishing novels and poetry into old age.
