Notes:
The passing of the British Abolition Act in 1807 owed much to the activism of women, enslaved and free, who employed diverse strategies to agitate for the ending of what was arguably the greatest crime against humanity. Reflects on women's role in Caribbean development and the struggles they faced in the process.
