  HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
  Unless I am allowed to tell the story of my life in my own way, I cannot tell it at all
  Mary Seacole - traveller, nurse, businesswoman and radical for her time - defied a prejudiced British government to
  care for soldiers wounded during the Crimean War.
  This ground breaking account, written by Seacole in 1857, brings to life her incredible journey from Jamaica to
  Central America and England, and then on to modern-day Ukraine, where she acted as nurse to injured soldiers
  while running her business, the 'British Hotel'. A witness to key battles, she gives vivid accounts of how she coped
  with disease, bombardment and other adversities during the Crimean War.
  In this extraordinary autobiography, Seacole shows how she navigated her way through racial injustice, poverty and
  ignorance to become the first woman of colour in Britain to publish her memoirs. It is a testament to her enduring
  legacy.
