Child,
Lydia Maria (Francis) (b. Feb. 11, 1802, Medford, Mass., U.S.--d. Oct. 20, 1880,
Wayland, Mass.), American author of antislavery works that had great influence
in her time.
In the
1820s, Child taught, wrote historical novels, and founded a periodical for
children, Juvenile Miscellany (1826).
After meeting the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison in 1831, she devoted her
life to abolitionism. Child's best-known work, An Appeal in Favor of that Class of Americans Called Africans
(1833), related the history of slavery and denounced the inequality of education
and employment for blacks; it was the first such work published in book form. As
a result, Child was ostracized socially and her magazine failed in 1834. The
book succeeded, however, in inducing many people to join the abolitionist
movement. (see also Underground Railroad)
Child's
further abolitionist efforts included editing the National Anti-Slavery Standard (1841-43) and later transcribing the
recollections of slaves who had been freed. In addition, her home was part of
the Underground Railroad that aided escaping slaves.
Child's
other work included once-popular volumes of advice for women, such as The
Frugal Housewife (1829), and books on behalf of the American Indian.
Although Child tended to overlook facts that did not support her theses, her
writing is clear and forceful.
