| Summary |
"A Woman's Life-Work — Labors and Experiences of Laura S. Haviland" by Haviland is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and efforts of Laura S. Haviland, a prominent abolitionist and educator, as she recounts her experiences and the profound struggles she faced in advocating for the rights of the oppressed, particularly in relation to slavery and education for freedmen and women. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to Haviland's motivations for documenting her life and the injustices she witnessed, including her early impressions of slavery and her deep religious convictions. She reflects on her upbringing in a Quaker family, instilling in her a strong moral compass that guided her to confront societal ills. Haviland shares her childhood inquiries about faith and morality, laying the groundwork for her future activism as she navigates personal losses and the broader issues surrounding slavery. This beginning sets the tone for a life dedicated to social reform and personal faith, promising a rich tapestry of emotional and historical insights into her journey.
