This early work by Alice Dunbar Nelson was originally published in 1895. Born in New Orleans, USA in 1875, Alice Dunbar Nelson was among the first African-Americans to be born free in the South after the Civil War. She had a varied career, as a teacher, a writer, and then as a political activist for the woman's sufferage movement. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in feminist literature. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions. | Violets and Other Tales by Alice Dunbar Nelson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
