    About this series

    Women have been at the forefront of significant positive change for generations, and yet they still struggle to have their voices heard.

    There is no more obvious example of this than when learning about modern history, where little acknowledgment is given to women's incredible feats and sacrifices during major world events.

    However, there are hundreds of true stories of brave women activists, each one fighting for important causes such as ending slavery and other forms of oppression.

    You just need to know where to find these stories.

    Introducing Voices of Freedom, a riveting book which brings to life the captivating stories of brave women like Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman, who shattered the chains of slavery.

    Voices of Freedom also sheds light on the crucial roles of lesser-known women abolitionists. Their stories will open your eyes to the countless unsung female heroes whose contributions have shaped our world.

    If you are searching for a history book with a difference, packed with page-turning details of the lives of women who dramatically changed the course of history, you've come to the right place!

    ● Harriet Tubman and her involvement in the Underground Railroad.
