The abolition movement in the United States―the fight against slavery―likely would have been less powerful and effective without the women of the movement. Yet, even in this fight for freedom, women were often sidelined by their male counterparts. Still, certain mission-driven American women were tenacious in their quest to free the enslaved peoples on American soil. This important book introduces readers to the significant groups and individuals who spoke out and put their lives at risk to halt American slavery. Fact boxes, sidebars, and historical images aid in supporting key curricular content.

All too often, women’s roles in the American Revolution are briefly mentioned or, often, just left out entirely. The omission is a great disservice to students of history. This valuable volume aids readers in understanding the significant part that women played in the fighting of the war and in the founding of the new country. Through carefully researched, accessible text, they’ll learn about groups of women and individuals who supported colonial independence, proving themselves invaluable in the war effort. Sidebars, fact boxes, and historical images add more memorable information about this crucial curricular topic.
