Selected Works of Angelina Weld Grimké (The Schomburg Library of Nineteenth-century Black Women Writers)

Centred around the themes of death, women as objects of desire, lost love, motherhood, and children, the poems in this selection offer insight into the work of this well-known abolitionist and advocate of women's rights. Including Grimké's prose and drama, this volume also sheds new light on the African-American experience of racial pride and the reaction against racist acts.
