About This Item

Mary Carpenter. The Life and Work of Mary Carpenter. Book with Autograph Letter Signed of Mary Carpenter Pasted in, 1879 Carpenter, J. Estlin, M.A.--The Life and Work of Mary Carpenter, First Edition (1879). Bound in green leather with marbled boards. 495 pages. Portrait of Carpenter facing title page. Mary Carpenter was one of the foremost public speakers of her time and is best remembered for the huge contribution she made to educational and penal reform. She opened "ragged schools" to give an education to the children of the poor and introduced reformatories which took a caring and constructive stance for young offenders. Mary Carpenter also campaigned for better education for women and reforms to prisons. Following a meeting with Frederick Douglas, Mary Carpenter became fervently opposed of the slave trade, particularly the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. She traveled extensively in America, Europe and India, where she also sought reforms similar to those she pursued in Britain. She was a pioneer in the field of equality for women and stood almost alone as a female orator who was widely listened to and respected. Not all criticism was favorable, however; both her books and her work were condemned by Pope Pius IX. Light foxing to free endpapers and title page. Minimal shelfwear. Overall good condition.
