Synopsis "Letters of Lydia Maria Child, by Lydia Maria Child and John Greenleaf Whittier: John Greenleaf Whittier (December 17, 1807 - September 7, 1892) and We (in English)"
-Lydia Maria Francis Child (born Lydia Maria Francis) (February 11, 1802 - October 20, 1880), was an American abolitionist, women's rights activist, Native American rights activist, novelist, journalist, and opponent of American expansionism. Her journals, both fiction and domestic manuals reached wide audiences from the 1820s through the 1850s. At times she shocked her audience as she tried to take on issues of both male dominance and white supremacy in some of her stories. Despite these challenges, Child may be most remembered for her poem "Over the River and Through the Wood." Her grandparents' house, which she wrote about visiting, was restored by Tufts University in 1976 and stands near the Mystic River on South Street, in Medford, Massachusetts.A volume of her letters, with an introduction by John G. Whittier and an appendix by Wendell Phillips, was published after her death (Boston, 1882) -John Greenleaf Whittier (December 17, 1807 - September 7, 1892) was an American Quaker poet and advocate of the abolition of slavery in the United States. Frequently listed as one of the Fireside Poets, he was influenced by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Whittier is remembered particularly for his anti-slavery writings as well as his book Snow-Bound. -Wendell Phillips (November 29, 1811 - February 2, 1884) was an American abolitionist, advocate for Native Americans, orator and lawyer. -Harriet Winslow Sewall (June 20, 1819 in Portland, Maine - April 19, 1889) was an American poet, and editor of the collected letters of Lydia Maria Child. Winslow was born in Portland, Maine into a Quaker family.
