The accepted history of slave revolts has always told her that enslaved women took a back seat. But Rebecca decides to look deeper, and her journey takes her through old court records, slave ship captain?s logs, crumbling correspondence, and even the forensic evidence from the bones of enslaved women from the ?negro burying ground? uncovered in Manhattan. She finds women warriors everywhere.Using in-depth archival
