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.

This important book introduces readers to the significant groups and individuals who spoke out and put their lives at risk to halt American slavery.
