Reviews:

• [T]his collection of essays would...prove very valuable to Women's and American Studies, as well as History and Sociology scholars. It would certainly be a good addition to any academic library.
  —Journal of American Culture
• The new addition by Paul A. Cimbala is a long overdue study of the black American-Canadian abolitionist, Mary Ann Shadd Cary....This is a good text for an advanced undergraduate course.
