      abstract = {"This anthology aims to bring together writings by  African-American women between 1832 and 1920, the period  when they began to write for American audiences and to use  history to comment on political and social issues of the  day. The pieces are by more familiar nineteenth-century  writers in Black America--like Maria Stewart, Francis E. W.  Harper, and Alice Dunbar-Nelson--as well as lesser-known  mothers and teachers whose participation in their local  educational systems thrust them into national intellectual  conversations. Each piece will have a headnote providing  biographical information about its author as well as  contextual information about its publication and the topic  being discussed. The volume will contain a substantial  introduction to the overall enterprise of Black women's  historical writings. Because the editors are both trained  in American studies and religious history, their  introduction will particularly highlight religious themes  and venues in which these writings were presented. This  book should appeal to general readers of books like those  in the Schomburg Library series, as well as those who work  and teach American history, African American studies,  women's studies, American literature, and American  religious history"--Provided by publisher.},
