In Search of Mary Seacole: The Making of a Cultural Icon by Helen Rappaport
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 69.5 MB
Overview: 'An astonishingly rich story… wonderfully informative' The Times
'Rappaport does a terrific job of bringing respectful rigour to her account of Seacole's extraordinary life' Daily Mail
In Search of Mary Seacole is a superb and revealing biography that explores her remarkable achievements and unique status as an icon of the 19th century, but also corrects some of the myths that have grown around her life and career.
Having been raised in Jamaica and worked in Panama, Mary Seacole came to England in the 1850s and volunteered to help out during the Crimean War. When her services were turned down, she financed her own expedition to Balaclava, where she earned her reputation as a nurse and for her compassion. Popularly known as ‘Mother Seacole’, she was the most famous Black celebrity of her generation – an extraordinary achievement in Victorian Britain. She regularly mixed with illustrious royal and military patrons and they, along with grateful war veterans, helped her recover financially when she faced bankruptcy. However, after her death in 1881, she was largely forgotten for many years.
