Her journals, both fiction and domestic manuals, reached wide audiences from the 1820s through the 1850s.

Upon the death of her mother, she went to live with her older sister in Maine, where she studied to be a teacher. During this time, her brother Convers, by then a Unitarian minister, saw to his younger sister's education in literary masters such as Homer and Milton. Francis chanced to read an article in the North American Review discussing the field offered to the novelist by early New England history. Although she had never thought of becoming an author, she immediately wrote the first chapter of her novel Hobomok. Encouraged by her brother's commendation, she finished it in six weeks and had it published. From this time until her death, she wrote continually. Francis taught for one year in a seminary in Medford, and in 1824 started a private school in Watertown, Massachusetts.

Excerpt from Philothea: A Grecian Romance This volume is purely romance; and most read ers will consider it romance of the wildest kind.

To minds of differ ent mould, who may think an apology necessary for what they will deem so utterly useless, I have nothing better to Offer than the simple fact that I found delight in doing it.

An Appeal in Favor of That Class of Americans Called Africans by Lydia Maria Child (1802-1880) provoked a storm of controversy when published in 1833. A prominent Massachusetts politician hurled the book out of the window with a pair of fire tongs. The Boston Athenaeum rescinded the free library privileges the trustees had conferred on Child. Former patrons among the Boston elite slammed their doors in Child's face and cut her dead in the streets. Most disastrous for a woman who supported herself and her husband with her pen, the sales of her books plummeted. The outrage Child's Appeal aroused indicates how deeply entrenched the slave system and the racist ideology upholding it were in the nation's political, economic, and social life-and how much courage the book's thirty-one-year-old author displayed by challenging the "peculiar institution" at the risk of forfeiting her literary popularity and her livelihood.

Child wrote that Carter's book was not suited "to the wants of this country". To add further confusion, from 1832-1834 Child's version was printed in London and Glasgow.....
