Lydia Maria Child: The Quest for Racial Justice

127 pp. | Oxford | November, 2002 | Library ISBN 0-19-513257-2 $$24.00
(4) YA Oxford Portraits series. Abolitionist and crusader for racial justice, as well as a writer for children and adults, Lydia Marie Child's life and accomplishments are outlined in this dense text. Although the chronology of historical events is hard to follow, her literary achievements, rocky marriage, and bouts with depression are portrayed honestly. Readers might balk at the detailed narrative, but excerpts from Child's work and black-and-white reproductions will engage those who persevere. Bib., ind.
