Redundancy (Style)

[edit]

Not sure what was meant by "African-American women in the nineteenth century took the way they dressed very seriously *and so did others* [boldface mine]." If this was by way of introducing the subject, then why not "Women in the nineteenth century etc." - without the dangling generalizing clause?

Amanda Smith

Amanda Smith (January 23, 1837 – February 24, 1915) was an American Methodist preacher and former slave who funded the former Amanda Smith Orphanage and Industrial Home for Abandoned and Destitute Colored Children in Harvey, Illinois. She was a leader in the Holiness movement, preaching the doctrine of entire sanctification throughout Methodist camp meetings across the world. This photograph of Smith was taken around 1885 and is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.
