À propos de cet audio
Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands is the bold, witty memoir of Mary Seacole, a Jamaican nurse and businesswoman who defied racism and sexism to care for soldiers during the Crimean War in the 1850s. Writing in her own voice, Seacole recounts her travels across the Caribbean, Central America, and Europe, sharing vivid stories of healing, hardship, and independence.
Despite being rejected by British authorities because of her race, Seacole funded her own trip to the Crimea, where she set up the "British Hotel" near the battlefield to treat the wounded and provide comfort to soldiers. Her memoir challenges Victorian norms and gives a rare, firsthand account of colonial life, war, and the role of women of color in history.
