Mary Livermore was TEACHER, AUTHOR, WIFE, MOTHER, ARMY NURSE, SOLDIER'S FRIEND, LECTURER, AND REFORMER.

During the war, she worked with the Sanitary Commission and visited many hospitals and soldiers. Anyone questioning the veracity of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" need only read Mary Livermore. Her remarkable life was one dedicated to the advancement of African-Americans and women, and she worked with all the prominent feminists of her day.
