Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (Hero Classics) by Harriet Jacobs

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is the stirring autobiography of Harriet Jacobs, a mother and fugitive slave, detailing her harrowing escape from slavery and seven years hiding in an attic crawl space and the racism she faced in freedom. The Norton Library edition presents the text of the first (1861) edition, with explanatory endnotes and an introduction by Evie Shockley.

Harriet Jacobs was a writer of African descent. Her master sexually harassed her when she was born into slavery in Edenton, North Carolina. As he threatened to sell her children, she took refuge in a cramped hole beneath her grandmother's roof, where she couldn't even stand. She eventually made it to New York, where she was reunited with her children Joseph and Louisa Matilda, as well as her brother John S., after seven years there.
