Mary Shadd Cary was an abolitionist of African-American descent, who disagreed with the separate, but equal theory of many of her peers in the struggle for liberty and freedom of African-Americans. When the Fugitive Slave Act was enacted in 1859, which denied runaway enslaves a trial by jury and the opportunity to testify on their own behalf, Cary protested that the act jeopardized all blacks residing in the United States and justified their moving to Canada or other countries. She subsequently helped many of the enslaved to migrate to Canada.

Mary Ann Gibbs - Small bio from the back dust jacket of the hardbound, UK published book - The Milliner's Shop. "Mary Ann Gibbs was born in Sussex, the daughter of a doctor who, until his retirement, was a country G.P. She has always loved history and enjoyed historical research and each of her previous sixty (!!) novels has been tackled in a different way. She has also written many articles, short stories and serials. Mary Ann Gibbs has a great love for the countryside, inherited from her father, who was descended from a line of Sussex yeoman farmers, going back to the thirteenth century. Now a widow, she has one son, an architect whose work lies with historic buildings. This she finds a great help in the authenticity of her work, being herself a stickler for accuracy.
