She married into the famous Vanderbilt family and dedicated her life to improving the condition of New York’s African American community, though, certainly, in a very do-gooder "White Savior" kind of way. Her writings on the lives of Dutch citizens in New York was very popular and she is often overlooked as a pioneer of women’s historians in the twentieth century (Brooklyn Historical Society, 2018). SUBJECTS: Dutch Americans - New York - Social life and customs. Very good condition. Previous owners writings on notes page and on title page. Overall very good.
