Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs
An authentic autobiographical account of slave life in the South from the 1820s to the 1840s. To escape sexual exploitation by her master, Brent ran away and hid in an attic crawl space that became her home for seven years of unbelievable physical hardship. Edited by L. Maria Child; Introduction by Walter Teller.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.
