The History of Mary Prince (1831) was the first narrative of a black woman to be published in Great Britain. It describes in detail Prince's enslavement and sufferings as a slave - from the age of ten - in Bermuda, Turks Island, and Antigua, and her eventual arrival in London with her brutal owner Mr Wood in 1828.

Prince escaped from Wood and sought assistance from the Anti-Slavery Society, where she dictated her remarkable story to Susanna Strickland and Thomas Pringle.

Her moving and graphic first-person account touched many people and had an immediate effect on public opinion regarding the anti-slavery movement. Her story drew attention to the continuation of slavery - despite an 1807 Act of Parliament officially ending the slave trade in England, but it had not yet been abolished in Bermuda and the British Caribbean colonies.

This powerful rallying cry for emancipation remains an extraordinary testament to Prince's ill-treatment, suffering and survival.
