World History Encyclopedia<p>Although Phillis Wheatley's poetry found an audience upon publication, it was not well received by everyone and some, notably Thomas Jefferson (l. 1743-1826), dismissed her work entirely as "mimicry" since, according to the prevailing understanding of the time, Blacks were incapable of the "higher thought" that was necessary in writing poetry. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ThomasJefferson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThomasJefferson</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PhillisWheatley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhillisWheatley</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Abolitionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abolitionism</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AmericanLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanLiterature</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Slavery</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HistoryFact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryFact</span></a> <a href="https://whe.to/ci/2-2684-en/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">whe.to/ci/2-2684-en/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
World History Encyclopedia<p>Phillis Wheatley (l. c. 1753-1784) was the first African American woman to publish a book of poetry and become recognized as a poet, overcoming the prevailing understanding of the time that a Black person was incapable of writing, much less writing poetry and, further, that an enslaved person, considered property, could do so. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PhillisWheatley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhillisWheatley</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/HistoryFact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryFact</span></a> <a href="https://whe.to/ci/1-23040-en/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">whe.to/ci/1-23040-en/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
