Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl

Harriet Ann Jacobs' 'Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl' — one of the most powerful slave narratives in American literature, and the first book-length narrative by a formerly enslaved woman. Published in 1861 under the pseudonym Linda Brent. Jacobs tells her own harrowing story of sexual exploitation, family separation, seven years hiding in a tiny garret, and eventual escape to freedom. A searing indictment of slavery from a woman's perspective.
