Reviews
The book provides a fascinating, and very detailed, insight into the role of women, particularly those from Puritan and dissenting traditions in the anti-slavery movement. * Susan Durber, Journal for the History of Modern Theology 2017 Volume 24 Issue 2. *
This is an enjoyable and authoritative book ... It is therefore recommended to anyone who wishes to explore the role of religious women and religious cultures in the anti-slavery campaigns of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and makes an effective contribution. * Emily J. Manktelow, Journal of Ecclesiastical History Vol. 64.2 *
makes a major contribution to both anti-slavery and womens studies * John H.Y. Briggs, Journal of Theological Studies *
On the whole, this is a solid collection. It is most valuable for its accounts of overlooked abolitionist women such as the immediatist pamphleteer Heyrick and the key 1790s anti-slavery publisher Martha Guernsey. * George E. Boulukos, Victoria Studies, *
