Women with guts, great-heartedness and grim determination! Vicky Leon, the historical detective, presents 225 altruists, abolitionists and adventurers in UPPITY WOMEN OF THE NEW WORLD. This book spans the early 1500s to the mid-1800s and follows fearless females as they brave new worlds, pioneer the wilderness on three continents, and fight slavery and injustice. Paying equal attention to the many indigenous women who were seldom pleased at being "discovered", Leon gives us the ultimate inside scoop on these brave and daring dames.
