Mary Prince Book order (chronological)

    Mary Prince's autobiography, published in 1831, stands as the first account of a Black woman's life to be published in the United Kingdom. This first-hand narrative of enslavement's brutalities was released at a time when slavery remained legal in British Caribbean colonies. Its publication had a galvanizing effect on the anti-slavery movement, going through three printings in its first year. Prince's powerful testimony offered a crucial perspective on the inhumanity of the system.
