The story of the first Caribbean woman to publish a book in Britain in 1831 as part of the Anti-Slavery Society campaign to abolish slavery in the British West Indies.
In 1831, a runaway West Indian slave in London by the name of Mary Prince arrives at the offices of the Anti-Slavery Society to tell the story of her enslavement to the Secretary, Thomas Pringle, and his assistant, Susannah Strickland. As she thinks back on past action to understand and evaluate it, she recreates for the audience her history as a slave in the British West Indies.
