Biographical History
Lydia Child was born in Massachusetts and became known as an abolitionist for her tract entitled, "Appeal in Favor of that Class of Americans called Africans," (1833). Child's letters to the Governor of Virginia were eventually published as an abolitionist book and she also authored a novel entitled "Hobomok," a story about Indians in colonial Massachusetts.
Abolitionist, reformer, and one of America's first women of letters, Child published an early antislavery book, An Appeal in Favor of that Class of Americans Called Africans, 1833, that created a furor in Boston and helped attract many later famous, male abolitionists to the cause. She was on the executive committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society, edited the National Anti-Slavery Standard (1841-1843), and became an increasingly outspoken proponent of emancipation as the Civil War approached. In later life she renewed her early interest in spiritualism while remaining a humanitarian.
American author and reformer.
Lydia Maria Child was born in Massachusetts, and lived there her entire life with the exception of nine years in New York City (1841-1850). She wrote popular works in prose, notably on domestic matters, and supported herself and her husband through her writing. She also wrote prolifically about reform causes, primarily the abolition of slavery, about which she believed fervently and wrote passionately.
Lydia Maria Francis Child (1802-1880) was an American abolitionist, reformer and author. She published works on numerous subjects, including domestic advice, children's literature, abolition, and religion. She was an active abolitionist in New York and Massachusetts.

BIOGHIST REQUIRED Lydia Maria Child was born Lydia Maria Francis in Medford, Massachusetts in February, 1802. Francis was born into an abolitionist family and was greatly influenced by her brother, Convers, who would later become a Unitarian Clergyman. After the death of her mother in 1814, Child moved to Maine to live with her sister and began teaching in Gardiner in 1819. While living in Maine, Child became increasingly interested in Native Americans and visited many nearby settlements. Child began actively writing shortly after returning to Massachusetts to live with her brother. She published her first novel, Hobomok, in 1824, at the age of 22. The story depicted the relationship between a girl from New England and a Native American. Although the book was published anonymously, Child would later gain fame as the author of Hobomok, the first American historical novel.
BIOGHIST REQUIRED Child continued to have a vibrant writing career throughout her life; she was the pioneer of many writing forms, such as historical fiction, children's literature, and women's literature. In 1826, she founded Juvenile Miscellany, the first children's periodical in the United States; she published The American Frugal Housewife in 1844. Child published her first anti-slavery book in 1833, An Appeal in Favor of That Class of Americans We Call Africans, arguing for full, uncompensated emancipation of slavery and full racial equality.
BIOGHIST REQUIRED Following her marriage to journalist and fellow abolitionist, David Lee Child, in 1828, Child and her husband became acquainted with William Lloyd Garrison, who greatly influenced their devotion to abolitionism. With her husband, Child established the National Anti-Slavery Standard, the official weekly newspaper of the American Anti-Slavery Society, in 1840. Among her many abolitionist efforts, Child transcribed recollections of freed slaves and edited Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861). Public reactions to her actions were frequently negative, but Child continued with her endeavors against slavery and also supported both women's rights and Native American rights throughout her life. Child died in 1880, at age 78, in her home in Wayland, Massachusetts.
