43. Other Abolitionists
    Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (18251911) Frances Ellen Watkins was the best-knownand most respected nineteenth century African American poet and novelist.  
    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4p4439.html
    
    Extractions: The abolitionist movement was composed of thousands of people who devoted significant portions of their lives to ending slavery. Its leadership was not confined to famous figures such as David Walker, Harriet Tubman, William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass. Many others made significant contributions to the abolitionist crusade. Here are a few examples. Maria Stewart, a free-born African American woman, was the first American-born woman of any color to deliver a series of public lectures. Fired by political and religious zeal, Stewart began lecturing and writing pamphlets in 1831. She felt driven to better the lives of her fellow African Americans, and lectured on a whole range of topics of vital importance to the black community, including abolition, equal rights, colonization, educational opportunities, and racial pride and unity. She advocated black self-determination and independence from whites. In this sense she was one of the most radical spokespersons of her time. Her career as a public speaker was cut short, however. There was strong opposition to women lecturing in public, even from some members of the black community. Stewart weathered the criticism valiantly for about a year, but then decided to cease lecturing. Instead, she launched a long and distinguished career as an educator. Stewart taught in New York and eventually opened two schools for free African American children in Washington, D.C.

    Extractions: Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) was one of the most prolific and popular African American writers of the nineteenth century, authoring four novels, several widely praised volumes of poems, and a number of essays and short stories. Born in Baltimore to free black parents who died when she was young, Frances Watkins was raised by her uncle William Watkins, a prominent educator and abolitionist. She taught at schools in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and in the early 1850s left teaching to lecture for the Maine Anti-Slavery Society and other antislavery organizations. She married Fenton Harper of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1860, and after his death four years later she resumed lecturing, supporting the cause of black suffrage and urging blacks to work for their uplift through temperance, education, and economic empowerment. In 1892 she published her best-known work of fiction, Iola Leroy . For most of her life, however, she was best known for her poetry. Prefaced by William Lloyd Garrison and published in 1854, her first volume of poetry, Poems on Miscellaneous Subjects Uncle Tom's Cabin , sold approximately 12,000 copies in its first four years in print and was reprinted at least twenty times during Harper's lifetime. "Bury Me in a Free Land" was written in the late 1850s and published in the 1864

    Extractions: "The chief object of their [women's] education is not so much to fit them to adorn society, as to vivify and enlighten a home. What a paradise even this world might become, if one half of the amount of effort expended in vain attempts to excite the admiration of strangers, were reversed to vary the amusements and adorn the sacred precincts of the home! . . . There are, morally speaking, no small duties. Nothing that influences human virtue and happiness can be really trifling, and what more influences them than the despised, because limited, duties assigned to women? . . . It is true, her reward (her task being done) is not of this world." These were probably the ideals that Mary B. DeLamarter was raised to accept - yet they were also the beliefs that women of her era began to reject. Though it is impossible to pinpoint DeLamarter's own beliefs, her life and her writings seem to place her somewhat in between those two extremes. DeLamarter was a wife, a mother, and a Christian, but she was also a literary lady - which seems to have occupied much of her passions and time. While it is somewhat easy to imagine the role of housewife, mother, and in extreme cases, servant of the house, it is more difficult to imagine the life of a fully committed poet of the late 1800's. Some of these women, women who most likely influenced DeLamarter and her poetry are:
