When the enslaved people of the island of Haiti rose up and won their liberty in the late 18th and early 19th century, women fought shoulder to shoulder with men. Yet it's the male freedom fighters who are remembered. Now, Haitian artists Richard Barbot and François Cauvin have imagined what these women looked like, creating paintings of revolutionary fighters such as Marie Jeanne Lamartiniére, Sanité Bélair, and vodou priestess Cécile Fatiman. Emi Eleode writes about their lives and the upcoming Resistance, Revolution and Reform: Cambridge and the Caribbean in the Age of Abolition, which will open at London's Fitzwilliam Museum in 2025.
