In history before the people : introduction
Full of the spirit of freedom : freedwomen and the system
Fearing shell nor shot : soldiers, spies, recruiters & other heroes
Supporting themselves : nurses, laundresses, cooks & entrepreneurs
Working for our own elevation : refugee relief activities
Their cause is our cause : succoring African American soldiers
Ties of consanguinity and love : teaching freedpeople
Contending against outrage and oppression : civil rights activism
Don't fret for me : resisting by surviving
Eloquent appeals : the voice and pen as weapons
The honor of the whole African race on her shoulders.
