About the author

Nancy Prince

b. 1799

Born free in Newburyport, Massachusetts, this 19th-century traveler and memoirist wrote a rare firsthand account of life as a Black woman moving through Russia, Jamaica, and the United States. Her narrative blends personal history, religious faith, and sharp observations about race, freedom, and reform.
