Items related to The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs.Seacole in Many Lands
Best remembered for her nursing activities in the Crimean War, Mary Seacole was also a traveller, businesswoman, doctor and gold prospector. Her autobiography, first published in 1857, gives a rare insight into the Victorian world from the perspective of a black British woman born into slavery in Jamaica. Reissued with a new introduction and notes, this is a lively and readable account of a varied, adventurous life untrammelled by the social restrictions of the day.

Book Description:
First published in 1857, this autobiographical work by the Jamaican-born nurse Mary Seacole (1805-81) is reissued here in its 1858 printing. It covers her varied and colourful career, most notably the care she provided for wounded soldiers during the Crimean War.
From the Back Cover:
No autobiography by an Afro-American woman of the nineteenth century defies classification more than Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands (1857). A free-born Jamaican, evidently well protected from the tentacles of slavery, Mary Jane Grant Seacole did not write her narrative expressly to advance the cause of antislavery, as so many Afro-American women autobiographers did during her era.
