“Maria W. Stewart and the Roots of Black Political Thought”
with Kristin Waters
In the 1830s Maria W. Stewart addressed gatherers at the African Meeting House in Boston. “America’s first black woman political writer” is among the least well known and most profound thinkers of her time and ours.

• Kristin Waters, Ph.D. is Emerita Professor at Worcester State University and a Scholar at the Brandeis University Women’s Studies Research Center. Her scholarship reclaims the work of women and African Americans situating it historically and within contemporary intellectual frameworks. Her book, Black Women’s Intellectual Traditions: Speaking Their Minds, co-edited with Carol B. Conaway was awarded the Letitia Woods Brown Memorial Prize from the Association of Black Women Historians. Her book, Women and Men Political Theorists: Enlightened Conversations remains one of the few race and gender-inclusive political theory collections of 18th and 19th century writings. Her new book, Maria W. Stewart and the Roots of Black Political Theory has been called “a brilliant intellectual biography…[that examines Stewart’s] political philosophy through the lens of the long tradition of African American feminism” by Dr. Manisha Sinha, award-winning author of The Slave’s Cause: A History of Abolition.
