She published antislavery fiction and political commentary, plotted to break Wisconsin abolitionist Sherman Booth out of prison, debated the war with individuals ranging from American radical Gerrit Smith to German socialist Ferdinand Lassalle, and followed the fate of German-born soldiers in the Union army, including her own husband. Throughout her remarkable career, Anneke's intimate relationships informed her politics and sustained her activism. This volume translates selections from Mathilde Anneke's fascinating correspondence with Fritz Anneke and Mary Booth, making the letters accessible to English-speaking historians, students, and members of the wider public for the first time"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes ALISON CLARK EFFORD lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and is an associate professor of history at Marquette University.
