Impact & Interaction

Mary Ann Shadd Cary (who would go on to have her own newspaper The Provincial Freeman) opposed some of the views expressed in by Henry Bibb in the Voice of the Fugitive.

She believed in the integration of the Black community in Upper Canada while Henry Bibb expressed a desire for a segregated community.

Her views on the roles women should play were and the role she herself played was outside of the traditional gender norms for the time (which would have been heavily influenced by or entirely was eurocentric). Henry Bibb however sided with more traditional roles and descriptors of femininity and women and was opposed to that.
