In one of the most significant slave narratives ever written Harriet Jacobs born a slave to mulatto parents in 1813 North Carolina recounts her remarkable story. From her sale to an abusive master to her bid for freedom as the lover of a white man to her ultimate and harrowing emancipation this work is an outstanding example of a woman's extraordinary courage--and one of the most provocative first-person accounts of slavery in American history.
