The writings of Afro-American women in the 19th century have remained buried in obscurity, accessible only in research libraries or in expensive and hard-to-find reprints. Many of these books have never been reprinted at in some instances only one or two copies are extant.
Oxford University Press, in collaboration with the Schomburg Library, is publishing thirty volumes of these compelling and rare works of fiction, poetry, autobiography, biography, essays, and journalism. Each volume contains an introduction written by an expert in the field, including such
well-known scholars as Mary Helen Washington, Hazel Carby, Deborah McDowell, Valerie Smith, Houston A. Baker, Jr., and Frances Foster; together, this important new collection will make accessible for the first time the entire range of works written by black women between 1773 and 1910.
The series includes never-before-published reprinted texts, such as The Hazely Family , as well as Clarence and Corrine , Ann Plato's Essays , Phillis Wheatley's Collected Works , Emma Dunham Kelley's pioneering novel, Megda , Pauline Hopkins's three serialized novels, and Frances E. W. Harper's
Complete Poems (never before collected). It also presents a newly discovered novel, Four Girls at Cottage City by Emma Dunham Kelley, as well as the first American edition of Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands .

The true story of an individual's struggle for self-identity, self-preservation, and freedom, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl remains among the few extant slave narratives written by a woman. This autobiographical account chronicles the remarkable odyssey of Harriet Jacobs (1813–1897) whose dauntless spirit and faith carried her from a life of servitude and degradation in North Carolina to liberty and reunion with her children in the North.
Written and published in 1861 after Jacobs' harrowing escape from a vile and predatory master, the memoir delivers a powerful and unflinching portrayal of the abuses and hypocrisy of the master-slave relationship. Jacobs writes frankly of the horrors she suffered as a slave, her eventual escape after several unsuccessful attempts, and her seven years in self-imposed exile, hiding in a coffin-like "garret" attached to her grandmother's porch.
A rare firsthand account of a courageous woman's determination and endurance, this inspirational story also represents a valuable historical record of the continuing battle for freedom and the preservation of family.

Considered one of the original texts foretelling the Black feminist movement, this collection of essays, first published in 1892, offers an unparalleled view into the thought of Black women writers in nineteenth-century America. A leading Black spokeswoman of her time, Anna Julia Cooper came of age during a conservative wave in the Black community, a time when men completely dominated African-American intellectual and political ideas. In these essays, Cooper criticizes Black men for securing higher education for themselves through the ministry, while erecting roadblocks to deny women access to those same opportunities, and denounces the elitism and provinciality of the White women's movement. Passionately committed to women's independence, Cooper espoused higher education as the essential key to ending women's physical, emotional, and economic dependence on men

This novel, published in 1898, tells the story of four carefree young women, all physically indistinguishable from white women, off for a vacation at a Massachusetts resort - a vacation that ultimately leads to their struggle for salvation and their commitment to Christian service. Combining conventions from spritual autobiography with those of the sentimental novel, the book sets off on an evangelical mission aimed at showing readers how they should live.

Part slave narrative, part memoir, and part sentimental fiction Behind the Scenes depicts Elizabeth Keckley's years as a salve and subsequent four years in Abraham Lincoln's White House during the Civil War. Through the eyes of this black woman, we see a wide range of historical figures and events of the antebellum South, the Washington of the Civil War years, and the final stages of the war

"What a shame it should rain this day, of all days, Net! Yesterday was a perfectly delightful day, and now-just look here!" and Jessie Dare drew back the window curtain and looked over her shoulder at her sister, who was lying snugly down between the sheets with the calmest of all calm faces, which was, to say the least, very exasperating to the troubled Jessie.

Mrs Seacole, a free-born Jamaican daughter of a Scottish army officer and a free black woman, recounts her childhood, her years as a storekeeper in a Central American frontier town, and her role as a battlefield `doctress' to British troops in the Crimea.
