Free Black woman, poet, novelist, essayist, speaker, and activist, Frances Watkins Harper was one of the nineteenth century\u2019s most important advocates of Abolitionism and female suffrage, and her pioneering work still has profound lessons for us today.\nIn this new book, Utz McKnight shows how Harper\u2019s life and work inspired her contemporaries to imagine a better America. He seeks to recover her importance by examining not only her vision of the possibilities of Emancipation, but also her subsequent role in challenging Jim Crow. He argues that engaging with her ideas and writings is vital in understanding not only our historical inheritance, but also contemporary issues ranging from racial violence to the role of Christianity.\nThis lucid book is essential reading not only for students\n\nFrances E.
