   Adelaide Casely Hayford born (2-6-1868)   
   04 Jun 24 22:47:12   
   
   From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz   
      
   An African Victorian Feminist (title of a recent biography of her).   
   Came from the elite Creole class in Freetown (like Robert Wellesley   
   Cole, whose memoir, Kossoh Town Boy, I came across a few years ago).   
   Hayford went off to school in England, married, unmarried, and returned   
   to pioneer women's education in Sierra Leone.   
   Wrote in standard British English, but occasionally used Krio in   
   dialogue in her fiction:   
   "Carry am go! Make e no stop here!" [Take him! Don't let him stay here!]
