She’s lucky to get a footnote in the widespread attention given to her husband, but she deserves her moment outside the huge shadow Frederick cast.
After Frederick successfully escaped and landed first in Philadelphia and later in New York City, he sent for Anna who brought with her the goods she needed to set up a household for them. On September 15, 1838 they were married under the name of Johnson but changed it to Douglass once they settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
Very little is said about Anna in Frederick’s three autobiographies, which was true of many abolitionists who helped him escape, fearing it would endanger them. There were also the long absences from home, Frederick’s increasing role as a speaker of renown, a writer and a statesman. The separation was made all the more problematic with his close working relationship with women at his newspapers, a role limited by Anna’s illiteracy.
