Samenvatting | Born into slavery, Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley (ca. 1824-1907) rose to a position of respect as a talented dressmaker and designer to the political elite of Washington and a confidante of First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln. In this unusual memoire Keckley offers a view of the formal and informal networks that African Americans established among themselves, as well as an insiders perspective of the men who made Civil War politics and the women who influenced them. |
