Mother

Respuesta :

i hope is correct, Midwife and if not i am sorry 

The correct answer is Midwife.

Jefferson's criticisms of Phillis Wheatley's work brought forth further African literature to argue against his view. This is why considered Jefferson the "midwife" of African-American literature.

This story is about the racial discrimination and stereotypes of American society in 18th century.
