With delightful urbanity and wit, Mary Seacole, a free-born Jamaican Creole, recounts her childhood as a daughter of a Scottish army officer and a free black boarding-house keeper, her years as a storekeeper in a Central American frontier town, and her role as a battlefield 'doctress' to British troops in the Crimean War. She emerges as an independent and respected maternal figure, the acme of female achievement in Victorian culture, and a symbol of 'home' to British soldiers alienated by war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47615233589399,"sku":"9780195052497","price":7029.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195052497.webp?v=1775099019","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/wonderful-adventures-of-mrs-seacole-in-many-lands-9780195052497","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
