Santamarina examines four autobiographies by nineteenth-century African American women. Moving beyond the calls for abolition that marked the writings of black elites during this time, these former slaves and free black women wrote about their own overlooked or disparaged work as socially and culturally valuable to the nation, elevating the status of wage labor as a mark of self-reliance and civic virtue.
