Product Description
First published in Boston in 1898, Four Girls at Cottage City tells the story of four carefree, young women (all physically indistinguishable from white women) who, while vacationing at a Massachusetts resort, embark on a struggle for salvation and commit themselves to Christian service. Combining conventions of spiritual autobiography with those of the sentimental novel, Emma Kelley-Hawkins presents a powerful spritual message alongside a belief in the strength of matrifocal communities. Four Girls at Cottage City serves as a precursor to the spiritual feminism that resonates throughout African-American women's fiction today.
