About this title

From the Publisher:

Wonderful Adventures is a rare example of an early autobiography by a Black British woman originally published in 1857. Mary Seacole, born into Jamaican slave society, chronicles her extensive travels and experiences for a Victorian public. A significant figure in the Crimean War, Mary Seacole deserves to stand beside Florence Nightingale, but is seldom mentioned or accorded even a footnote. She chronicles her extensive travels. Businesswoman, traveller, gold prospector, writer, nurse, she led a varied and exciting life. In 2004 she was voted the greatest Black Briton

Book Description:
