When Sarah Forbes Bonetta was a young woman she faced great personal tragedy, and must have suffered great trauma, but she became a protégée of Queen Victoria, and was endorsed with all the trappings of an aristocratic upbringing. In this sense, her story is not very original, there are many histories written about women who were a part of the British and imperial aristocracy. However, this unique African woman has not been made part of them. Her biography reveals a life of privileged education, travel and access to a variety of spaces in Britain and in Africa, but her experiences illustrate that she was also vulnerable to racialization and prejudice in public and in private
