Annotation |
Published in 1861, this book is not only one of the last of the slave narratives published separately before the Civil War; it is also one of the few existing narratives written by a woman. Harriet Jacobs describes her efforts to fight off the advances of her master, her eventual liaison with another white man who fathered her two children, and her successful struggle for freedom.
