Lydia Moland on 19th Century Crusader, Lydia Maria Child

Historian Lydia Moland’s new book resurrects Lydia Maria Child. Now mostly forgotten, Child was one of the 19th century’s most popular authors; she wrote best-selling novels and guidebooks for housewives, and edited the first American children’s magazine. And then she jeopardized her entire career by becoming an outspoken and influential crusader against slavery. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
