Book Overview

Kate Field: A Record (1899) is a biographical book written by Lilian Whiting that chronicles the life of Kate Field, a prominent American journalist, writer, and actress in the late 19th century. The book is divided into chapters that cover different stages of Field's life, beginning with her childhood and early career as a writer in the United States, and continuing through her time in Europe, where she established herself as a respected correspondent and commentator on social and political issues. The book delves into Field's personal life, including her relationships with various prominent figures of her time, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Giuseppe Garibaldi. It also explores her involvement in the women's suffrage movement and her advocacy for social justice causes, such as prison reform and the abolition of slavery. Whiting draws on a variety of sources, including Field's own writings and letters, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of this fascinating figure. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of journalism, women's rights, or 19th-century American culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
