Women in the World of Frederick Douglass

byLeigh Fought

In Women in the World of Frederick Douglass, Leigh Fought presents a biographical portrait centered on women in the World of Frederick Douglass. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
