Learn moreAn autobiographical narrative, Behind the Scenes in the Lincoln White House traces Elizabeth Keckley's life from her enslavement in Virginia and North Carolina to her time as seamstress to Mary Todd Lincoln in the White House during Abraham Lincoln's administration. It was quite controversial at the time of its release—an uncompromising work that transgressed Victorian boundaries between public and private life, and lines of race, gender, and society.
Elizabeth Keckley (1818-1907) was a former slave and was best known as being a personal confidante to Mary Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's wife and the First Lady. After being freed, she become a successful seamstress, author, and civil rights activist. Her autobiography, Behind the Scenes, not only gives a history of her life but also gives insight into the First Family's affairs.
Bobbie Frohman, a third generation Californian, was raised in a large extended family, the niece of cowboys. Early on she developed a deep love of animals, training her dogs to perform with her at dog shows, and as a competitive barrel racer with her beloved horse, Lucky.
