| SUMMARY, ETC. |
|---|
| Summary, etc |
Profiles women abolitionists who despite personal risks devoted their lives to freedom for all, including Harriet Tubman, Alice Seeley Harris, and Hadijatou Mani. From the early days of the antislavery movement, when political action by women was frowned upon, British and American women were tireless and uncompromising campaigners. Without their efforts, emancipation would have taken much longer. And the commitment of today's women, who fight against human trafficking and child slavery, descends directly from that of the early female activists. Speak a Word for Freedom: Women against Slavery tells the story of fourteen of these women. |
