eBooks di Lydia Maria Child editi da Passerino
Lydia Maria Child (1802-1880) nacque a Medford, Massachusetts. Nel 1828 sposò l'avvocato David Lee Child e con quel
cognome è rimasta nota nella letteratura e nella cultura americana. Fu insegnante e soprattutto attivista in difesa dei
diritti delle donne e dei nativi americani, oltre che decisa oppositrice della schiavitù, ancora molto diffusa soprattutto
nel sud degli Stati Uniti. Dopo Hobomok, scritto a soli 22 anni, pubblicò altri racconti e romanzi, ma la sua opera di
maggior successo fu The Frugal Housewife, una guida pratica per le giovani spose, uscita nel 1829 e più volte ristampata.

Lydia Maria Child (née Francis; February 11, 1802 – October 20, 1880) was an American abolitionist, women's rights activist, Native American rights activist, novelist, journalist, and opponent of American expansionism. Her journals, both fiction and domestic manuals, reached wide audiences from the 1820s through the 1850s. At times she shocked her audience as she tried to take on issues of both male dominance and white supremacy in some of her stories. Despite these challenges, Child may be most remembered for her poem "Over the River and Through the Wood." Her grandparents' house, which she wrote about visiting, was restored by Tufts University in 1976 and stands near the Mystic River on South Street, in Medford, Massachusetts.
