Elizabeth Keckley
Elizabeth Keckley (1818–1907) was an American dressmaker, activist, and author whose memoir Behind the Scenes tells of slavery, freedom, and years as dressmaker to Mary Todd Lincoln in the White House. Written with unusual candour, the book remains a vital witness to Black women's labour, enterprise, and proximity to power in nineteenth-century America.
