Where Frances Drake saw injustice, she tried to right it, and where
freedom was denied, she fought to secure it. In Resolve and Rescue,
author and historian Mark C. Bodanza explores the life of this
Massachusetts woman who took up the cause of the slave early in the
antislavery movement. He shows how, in an age dominated by men,
Drake never allowed the disadvantages suffered by her gender to
impede the great object of her work, the end of slavery in America.
Resolve and Rescue narrates the story of this woman, born in 1814,
who had an uncommon energy. She toiled for more than two decades to
end slavery in ways great and small, including the promotion of
some of the greatest speakers of the abolition movement. Her
efforts were not limited to speeches or theory, but she publicly
participated in the rescue of many fugitive slaves, including the
first test case in New England under the Fugitive Slave Act of
1850; Bodanza also demonstrates that her fight wasn't limited to
ending slavery, as she worked tirelessly for racial equality and
women's rights. Resolve and Rescue shares the life story of Frances
Drake, her conviction and courage displaying a timeless example of
promoting justice and equality.
