The remarkable story of Ellen Craft, a slave in Macon, Georgia, in the United States, a women bold enough to escape slavery. “Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom” was published in 1860. The book inquires into the race, gender, and class problems in the nineteenth century. It appears a wonderful example of racial passing, cross-dressing, and middle-class performance in a society where each of these boundaries was thought to be distinct and stable.
