Publisher description
"e;The History of Mary Prince"e;, a life narrative written by Mary Prince, is the first account published in Great Britain of a black woman's life; at a time when anti-slavery agitation was growing, her first-person account touched many people. The History of Mary Prince (1831) was the first narrative of a black woman to be published in Britain. It describes Prince's sufferings as a slave in Bermuda, Turks Island and Antigua, and her eventual arrival in London with her brutal owner Mr Wood in 1828. This powerful rallying cry for emancipation remains an extraordinary testament to Prince's ill-treatment, suffering and survival
