About Sophie Doin
- Sophie Doin (née Mamy), 1800 – 1846, was a French novelist and essayist whose writings contributed to the renewal of abolitionism in France during the 1820s.
- She targeted abuses in the French colonies, most notably Guadeloupe and Martinique, where slavery continued for decades after the declaration of Haitian independence in 1804.
- In her various antislavery writings, notably the novel La Famille noire, ou la Traite de l’esclavage [The Black Family, or the Slave Trade], she drew the French public's attention to the injustices committed by the slave system.
- She called for a more humane treatment of Blacks, for the abolition of the slave trade, and for religious and practical education that would prepare slaves for eventual emancipation.
