"Maria Baldwin (1856-1922) held a special place in the racially divided society of
her time, as a highly respected educator at a largely white New England school and
an activist who carried on the radical spirit of the Boston area's internationally
renowned abolitionists from a generation earlier. African American sociologist Adelaide
Cromwell called Baldwin "the lone symbol of Negro progress in education in the greater
Boston area" during her lifetime. Baldwin used her respectable position to fight alongside
more radical activists like William Monroe Trotter for full citizenship for fellow
members of the black community. And, in her professional and personal life, she negotiated
and challenged dominant white ideas about black womanhood. In Maria Baldwin's Worlds,
Kathleen Weiler reveals both Baldwin's victories and what fellow activist W. E. B.
Du Bois called her "quiet courage" in everyday life."
