Presented By: Chadds Ford Historical Society Details Local historian
Lora Englehart will give a lecture on Mary Ann Shad Cary (1823-1893),
one of the most accomplished and celebrated women in black history.
She was born in Wilmington, yet few Delaware residents have ever heard
of her. Shad Cary seems more a woman of our times than of her own.
Teacher, journalist, editor, feminist, lawyer, wife and mother…it is
easy to imagine her as a modern-day superwoman, preaching and
practicing a life committed to racial and gender equality. It is
harder to imagine a woman, especially a woman of color, leading a life
so rich with accomplishments 150 years ago Show Map
