In Radicals, Volume 1: Fiction, Poetry, and Drama, selections span from early works like Sarah Louise Forten's anti-slavery poem The Grave of the Slave (1831) and Fanny Fern's Ruth Hall (1855), a novel about her struggle to break into the male-dominated field of journalism, to Charlotte Perkins Gilman's revenge fantasy, When I Was a Witch (1910) and Georgia Douglas Johnson's poem on the fraught nature of African American motherhood, Maternity (1922). In between, readers will discover many vibrant and challenging lesser-known texts that are rarely collected today. Some, indeed, have been out of print for more than a century... Unique among anthologies of American literature, Radicals undoes such silences by collecting the underrepresented, the uncategorizable, the unbowed'powerful writings by American women of genius and audacity who looked toward, and wrote toward, what Charlotte Perkins Gilman called'a lifted world. ;
