Women as Agents of Change

Throughout history, women have been systematically marginalized and excluded from narratives of power and resistance. Yet, amidst the darkness of slavery, women emerged as beacons of hope and agents of change.

'The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts' meticulously uncovers the forgotten stories of women who played pivotal roles in shaping the course of slave revolts. From the Caribbean to the Americas, women defied societal norms and rallied enslaved communities to fight for their freedom and dignity.

Unflinching Courage and Leadership

Through captivating accounts and meticulous research, the book brings to light the struggles and triumphs of these extraordinary women. Meet:

• Nanny of the Maroons: A Jamaican Maroon leader who led multiple successful revolts against British colonial rule.
