"""What sets Voices of Freedom apart is its emphasis on the often marginalized voices in the abolitionist movement-women, who are depicted not only as abolitionists but also as early feminist icons who challenged the double whammy of slavery and gender inequality. The book explores their struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs."" ""Once again Elise Baker has brought more remarkable women to our attention. This time we are humbled by the accounts of incredibly brave women who campaigned against the horrors of slavery as well as fighting the injustices of a male dominated society. There women are unsung heroes and their bravery, determination and passion for justice deserves to be known. Thank you Elise for highlighting the lives of these awe inspiring women in an easy to read yet factual format. We are reminded that, despite the many obstacles that were in their path, individuals can truly make a difference."" ""It's an unarguable fact that historically women have been largely marginalized when it comes to recognition in art, literature, science and politics. When it comes to simple heroics it is even more so; women who stand up for themselves and other have all too often been just brushed aside and labelled as difficult. In her series of books on women who have bucked the trend and have been quietly and self effacingly heroic, Elise Baker has stepped in to help redress that and they are required reading. Her newest in the series, Voices of Freedom, has all the muscular heft as the previous ones."" ""The author gives a history of why and how the women portrayed got to pivotal points in their lives. Their dedication and commitment to their goals and cause regarding slavery was extraordinary, in consideration of the odds being stacked against them throughout their lives. The one thing they all had in common is that they lived their lives for ""others"" with strong advocacy. Their strength inspires me to never give up. Great book!"""
