"Finding Charity's Folk" is a significant non-fiction book that highlights the experiences of enslaved women in Maryland who actively fought for their freedom. Author Jessica Millward utilizes over 1,500 manumission records to tell the often-overlooked stories of these women. By connecting African American social and gender history, the book offers an innovative approach to using biographies as a historical genre. Millward succeeds in making the voices of these women heard and honoring their role in the history of slavery and the women's movement. This work is not only an important resource for historians but also for anyone interested in the history of the United States and the experiences of women in the 19th century.
