Review # 1 was written on 2012-10-15 00:00:00 C Steel 600 pages, 21 chapters plus afterword 8 pages Notes 140 pages works of L. Child, 16 p. index 32 p. The entire book is more than I have time for, and in some cases more than I want to know about Child and her times. But the parts I settled on were extraordinary in providing a sense of being a woman, an abolitionist, and a feminist in those times. a few notes p. 322 oppression of women by violence, 'gallantry', intellectual condescension 323 marriage is dissolving; Lydia now speaking out publicly about women's rights lst time women as sex objects in writings: L. critical of Emerson's sexism, Milton (Paradise Lost) hierarchy of God, Men, Women

Review # 2 was written on 2017-06-24 00:00:00 Lyle K Hardesty I really enjoyed this biography. It is largely organized around Child's writing which demonstrates her cultural significance while telling the story of her life and what motivated her. If you are interested in 19th century activism and reform, you will enjoy this.
