The two women, working within the Methodist church became two of the first female African Caribbean writers and the first educators of slaves and free blacks in the Caribbean. The sisters were outspoken opponents of slavery and supporters of women's education and total emancipation, and chose in 1786 to break societal norm by becoming baptized Methodists, renouncing their life of comfort, and marrying Methodist missionaries.[1] BiographyElizabeth Hart was born in 1772 to Barry Conyers Hart, a wealthy black Antiguan planter and slaveholder, a year before Anne Hart's birth.{{efn|There is some dispute over the birth dates of the Sisters Hart.

Because of his heightened social stance, Conyers Hart was able to secure a decent education for his daughters.[1] NotesFootnotes1. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Friesen|first1=Lexi|title=Women's History Month: Anne and Elizabeth Hart|url=https://www.cbeinternational.org/blogs/womens-history-month-anne-and-elizabeth-hart|website=cbeinternational.org|publisher=CBE International|accessdate=20 November 2017|date=11 March 2015}} Citations{{reflist|30em}}References{{refbegin}}
