The most daring abolitionists were poets who veiled their work in metaphor. Of these, the boldest was Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, nicknamed Tula. In passionate, accessible verses of her own, Engle evokes the voice of this book-loving feminist and abolitionist who bravely resisted an arranged marriage at the age of fourteen, and was ultimately courageous enough to fight against injustice. Historical notes, excerpts, and source notes round out this exceptional tribute.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Clarion Books","offers":[{"title":"The Lightning Dreamer: Cuba's Greatest Abolitionist | Margarita Engle | Paperback | 9780544541122 | Used: Very Good | Children's Books 1594882","offer_id":50649506119938,"sku":"1594882","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81ogL1AX5CL.jpg?v=1791274466","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/the-lightning-dreamer-cubas-greatest-abolitionist","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
