Description

WINNER OF THE 2003 PEN OAKLAND JOSEPHINE MILES AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING WRITING AND THE BLACK CAUCUS OF THE ALA LITERARY AWARD Frederick Douglass, the truly amazing african american abolitionist, was a guy who valued independence in life and in love. In this work of historic fiction, Douglass' interests come vividly alive in the shape of two ladies: Ottilie Assing and Anna Murray Douglass. Douglass' Women is definitely an innovative portrayal of those two women -- one black, another white -- in Douglass' life. Anna, his wife, was a free of charge person of colour who assisted like a servant Douglass avoid.
