212 Sanford Hall

Presented by Nneka Dennie (Washington & Lee University). This lecture will explore the work of Mary Ann Shadd Cary— an abolitionist, suffragist, and the first Black woman newspaper editor in North America. Particular attention will be devoted to her analyses of women's rights, emigration, and economic self-determination. The talk will also demonstrate how Shadd Cary's writing and activism situated her within early Black radical and Black feminist intellectual traditions.

Sponsored by the Institute for Women's Studies and the Department of History.
