This autobiographical account by a former slave is one of the few extant narratives written by a woman. Written and published in 1861, it delivers a powerful portrayal of the brutality of slave life. Jacobs speaks frankly of her master's abuse and her eventual escape, in a tale of dauntless spirit and faith.

written by the slave herself - compelling reading
I was thoroughly in awe of the true story written by Harriet Jacobs herself. Sometimes it was a little confusing as to who she was talking about but you have to remind yourself that this book was not edited in any way (although she did use ficticious names in place of real ones!). All the experiences were real and told from a female point of view which were told in a matter of fact way with all the blame for the horrendous incidents being blamed on 'Slavery' and not on the white Americans who perpetrated the evil acts. It is a story very much on a par with 'Ann Franks Diary' and it really is crying out to be made into a film. I, of course, knew about slavery ( having been taught about it in school), however, I was also brought up on the 'Happy Darky' which was in all the old American films when I was growing up. This book brings a whole new light to the subject for me and I am not ashamed to admit that I cried when reading it on quite a few occasions. My opinion is that this book should be read in all schools and by as many people as possible ! ps I was so moved by the story that I rebought it again but with the version which had a short story written by the authors own brother ( look out for ones that state 'also includes 'A True Tale of Slavery by John S. Jacobs')Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
