Former enslaved person Mary Prince's powerful rallying cry for emancipation and extraordinary testament to survival

The History of Mary Prince (1831) was the first narrative of a black woman to be published in Britain. It describes Prince's sufferings as a slave in Bermuda, Turks Island and Antigua, and her eventual arrival in London with her brutal owner Mr Wood in 1828. Prince escaped from him and sought assistance from the Anti-Slavery Society, where she dictated her remarkable story to Susanna Strickland (later Moodie). A moving and graphic document, The History drew attention to the continuation of slavery in the Caribbean, despite an 1807 Act of Parliament officially ending the slave trade. It inspired two libel actions and ran into three editions in the year of its publication.

Run small
Size: 3X-Large
I even went up a size and they were still quite uncomfortable due to being too small. They just plain didn’t fit so you might wanna go up a couple of sizes

Who knew!?
Size: 3X-Large
I have problems with elastic around my legs so I looked for underwear without the elastic and found these. Okay, not the best look for “date night” but the itchiness is gone when I wear these underwear. I consider it a miracle! Date night will just have to be à la cart.

Lil tight
Size: 3X-Large
Def purchase a size above what you normally wear. I unfortunately could not go any higher of a size. Its more of a snug fit, somewhat stretchy, but the fabric is soft and feels great. If the size was just a lil bit bigger these would be perfect. But they feel good.

Love
Size: Medium
I am someone that really does not like to wear underwear, but I don't need to be flashing everybody. I probably should have went with some calmer prints, but they are comfy! Sometimes I forget that they are supposed to be underwear and I walk outside in them.

Size chart does not reflect actual size of garment.
Size: 3X-Large
I ordered these according to the size chart. Asian sizes are much different from U.S. sizes. What I received does not coincide with measurements given. The only good thing I can say is that the colors are pretty.
