Writing for Freedom: A Story about Lydia Maria Child

by Erica Stux Narrated by Elisabeth Martin

Overview

Lydia Maria Child grew up in the 1800s reading countless books. She defied the idea that girls weren't supposed to fill their minds with ideas and stories. They weren't supposed to write their own books, either, but that is exactly what Lydia Maria did. Although she gained remarkable success as a writer for children and adults, she sacrificed everything when she took up her pen against slavery. Lydia Maria believed that slavery was wrong--and she wasn't afraid to say so. As a result, her courageous words changed her life and helped change the course of American history.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Both books [Writing for Freedom and Remember the Ladies] draw on primary sources and support the view that these two women influenced history through their writings and beliefs. These titles should interest students not yet ready to handle more in-depth treatments."
