About this book

Hagar's Daughter is a 1901-02 serialized novel by Pauline Hopkins (1859-1930), the pioneering African American author and editor of the Colored American Magazine, where it first ran under a pen name. Blending the conventions of detective and sentimental fiction, the novel turns on passing, hidden identity, and the legacy of slavery across two generations. Hopkins was one of the most important Black women writers of the turn of the century. The book is central to early African American literature. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
