New York Public Library: African American Women Writers of the 19th Century

Curated by ACT

A digital collection of some 52 published works by 19th-century black women writers. This collection provides access to the thought, perspectives and creative abilities of black women as captured in books and pamphlets published prior to 1920. A full-text database of these 19th and early 20th- century titles, this digital library is key-word-searchable. Each individual title, as well as the entire database, can be searched to determine what these women had to say about "family", "religion", "slavery" or any other subject of interest to the researcher or casual reader.
