Letters of Lydia Maria Child (Annotated)
Lydia Maria Francis Child was one of 19th-century America's most remarkable people. She was an abolitionist, women's rights activist, opponent of American expansionism, Indian rights activist, novelist, and journalist. In these letters, her wonderful intelligence and wit shine through during some of the most dramatic and important events in American history.

She sympathized with radical abolitionist, John Brown, and exchanged letters with him, included in this volume.
