The autobiography of the most famous woman American Universalism produced. Mary Livermore taught on a Virginia plantation (which made her an abolitionist), married the Universalist minister and editor Daniel Livermore, organized vast soldiers' relief operations for the Sanitary Commission during the Civil War, and afterward became one of the nation's leading suffrage lecturers. Her memoir of 'the sunshine and shadow of seventy years' is both a life of reform and a portrait of the Universalist milieu that sustained it.
