Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Overall it was completely boring. I respect her life but as far as the book, I did not like it.
