America’s White Slaves

5/3/2013

The Christian Science Monitor will publish an essay I wrote about the Alcotts for Mother’s Day, in its Books section.

“America’s White Slaves” is an essay I contributed to a book on tolerance that will soon be published by Facing History & Ourselves. The title comes from a quote by Louisa. In 1885, when she was in her early fifties and in poor health, she learned that people were saying she had abandoned the cause of female suffrage. She wrote to Woman’s Journal, “It is impossible for me ever to ‘go back’ on woman suffrage…this most vital question of the age ... I should be a traitor to all I most love, honor, and desire to imitate if I did not covet a place among those who are giving their lives to the emancipation of the white slaves of America.”

When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.
