Maria Baldwin (1856--1922) held a special place in the racially
divided society of her time, as a highly respected educator at a
largely white New England school and an activist who carried on the
radical spirit of the Boston area's internationally renowned
abolitionists from a generation earlier. African American
sociologist Adelaide Cromwell called Baldwin "the lone symbol of
Negro progress in education in the greater Boston area" during her
lifetime. Baldwin used her respectable position to fight alongside
more radical activists like William Monroe Trotter for full
citizenship for fellow members of the black community. And, in her
professional and personal life, she negotiated and challenged
dominant white ideas about black womanhood. In Maria Baldwin's
Worlds, Kathleen Weiler reveals both Baldwin's victories and what
fellow activist W. E. B. Du Bois called her "quiet courage" in
everyday life, in the context of the wider black freedom struggle
in New England.
