Product Description
EDITED BY W. J. S.; WITH AN INTRODUCTORY PREFACE BY W. H. RUSSELL ESQ.
From the Back Cover
No autobiography by an Afro-American woman of the nineteenth century defies classification more than Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands (1857). A free-born Jamaican, evidently well protected from the tentacles of slavery, Mary Jane Grant Seacole did not write her narrative expressly to advance the cause of antislavery, as so many Afro-American women autobiographers did during her era.
