When the Christmas Rebellion of 1831 erupted across Jamaica's sugar estates, history remembers Samuel Sharpe as its leader. But the uprising was fuelled by a network of enslaved women who organized, strategized, and fought alongside the men. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the roles of women like Mary Ann Thomas, who carried messages between estates, and the unnamed 'obeah women' whose spiritual authority united the rebels. They discuss how women used their positions as house servants and field workers to gather intelligence, distribute arms, and even lead attacks on plantation buildings. Drawing on trial transcripts from the Montego Bay courthouse and the testimonies recorded by Baptist missionaries like William Knibb, the conversation reveals a rebellion that was as much a women's war as a men's. The episode also examines how colonial authorities punished women with particular brutality, flogging and executing them to send a message. Through firsthand accounts and recent scholarship, this episode uncovers a hidden history of female resistance that reshaped Jamaica's path to emancipation. #ChristmasRebellion #Jamaica #1831 #WomenInHistory #EnslavedWomen #SamuelSharpe #MaryAnnThomas #WilliamKnibb #BaptistWar #Obeah #MontegoBay #SlaveRebellion #Emancipation #Resistance #History #FexingoHistory #CaribbeanHistory #WomenWarriors Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
