Sarah Parker Remond (1826-1894) left the free black community of
Salem, Massachusetts, where she was born, to become one of the
first women to travel on extensive lecture tours across the United
Kingdom. Remond eventually moved to Florence, Italy, where she
earned a degree at one of Europe's most prestigious medical
schools. Her language skills enabled her to join elite salons in
Florence and Rome, where she entertained high society with musical
soirees even while maintaining connections to European emancipation
movements.Remond's extensive travels and diverse acquaintances
demonstrate that the nineteenth-century grand tour of Europe was
not exclusively the privilege of white intellectuals but included
African American travelers, among them women. This biography, based
on international archival research, tells the fascinating story of
how Remond forged a radical path, establishing relationships with
fellow activists, artists, and intellectuals across Europe.
