Lynching of Eliza Woods : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lynching of Eliza Woods Eliza Woods was an African-American woman who was lynched on 19 August 1886 in Jackson, Tennessee, after being accused of poisoning and killing her employer, Jessie Woolen.〔("A Woman Lynched" ), ''The New York Times'', 20 August 1886.〕 Woods had been Woolen's cook. When it was found that Woolen's stomach contained arsenic and that Woods had a box of rat poison at home, it was concluded that she was responsible for the death.〔Crystal Feimster. ''Southern Horrors: Women and the Politics of Rape and Lynching''. Harvard University Press, 2009, (p. 158 ).〕 A crowd of 1,000 was reportedly present when Woods was dragged from the jail and hanged naked in front of the courthouse. In 1889 Woolen's husband confessed that he had killed his wife.〔Paula J. Giddings. ''Ida: A Sword Among Lions''. Harper Collins, 2009, (pp. 117 ), (152 ).〕 The case was among the first that Ida B. Wells (1862–1931) wrote about before becoming a prominent anti-lynching campaigner.〔Ida B. Wells-Barnett. ''The Memphis Diary of Ida B. Wells''. Beacon Press, 1995, (p. 102 ).〕 ==Notes==
