Anderson is a carefully compiled and edited collection of 155 personal letters that chronicle an inherently facinating life story of a woman of the Victorian Era who struggled against enormous hardships to raise her family.

Her role as president of the Women's Missionary Society reflects upon her eloquence, human understanding, and moral and social motivations. A fascinating primary source that reveals matters of daily life, survival, cultural mores, the impact of social stigma and much more. Extensively annotated with relavent historical notes and insights, The Life Writings Of Mary Baker Mcquesten is a superb, revealing, and inspiring account, not to be missed.
