Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole in Many Lands de Mary Seacole

Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole in Many Lands: The Schomburg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers

Autor Mary Seacole Introducere de William L. Andrews
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 iul 1988
A far cry from the nineteenth-century slave narrative tradition, this book, written in 1857, is a special kind of success story. With delightful urbanity and wit, Mary Seacole, a free-born Jamaican Creole, recounts her childhood as a daughter of a Scottish army officer and a free black boarding-house keeper, her years as a storekeeper in a Central American frontier town, and her role as a battlefield `doctress' to British troops in the Crimean War. She emerges as an independent and respected maternal figure, the acme of female achievement in Victorian culture, and a symbol of `home' to British soldiers alienated by war.

Notă biografică

Mary Seacole was born to a Scottish soldier father and free black mother in Kingston, Jamaica in 1805. She travelled to England in the 1850s after building her reputation as a nurse. Her work in the Crimea during the war earned her the Crimean medal and she played a crucial role in opening up the medical and nursing professions to women. She died in obscurity in England in 1881.
