This autobiographical account chronicles the remarkable odyssey of Harriet Jacobs (1813-1897) whose dauntless spirit and faith carried her from a life of servitude and degradation in North Carolina to liberty and reunion with her children in the North.\u003cbr\u003eWritten and published in 1861 after Jacobs' harrowing escape from a vile and predatory master, the memoir delivers a powerful and unflinching portrayal of the abuses and hypocrisy of the master-slave relationship. Jacobs writes frankly of the horrors she suffered as a slave, her eventual escape after several unsuccessful attempts, and her seven years in self-imposed exile, hiding in a coffin-like \"garret\" attached to her grandmother's porch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 02\/15\/2002 pg. 184 (EAN 9780486419312, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/span\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 47 (EAN 9780486419312, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eChristianity Today\u003c\/span\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 63 (EAN 9781420925319, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eBooklist\u003c\/span\u003e 02\/15\/2003 pg. 1043 (EAN 9780743460569, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2003 pg. 134 (EAN 9780743460569, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eEssence\u003c\/span\u003e 12\/01\/2003 pg. 152 (EAN 9780743460569, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/span\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 55 (EAN 9780393976373, Paperback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacobs, Harriet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2001-11-09\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Biography \u0026amp; Autobiography \/ Memoirs|Social Science \/ Cultural \u0026amp; Ethnic Studies \/ African American \u0026amp; Black Studies|Literary Collections \/ African American \u0026amp; Black|Biography \u0026amp; Autobiography \/ African American \u0026amp; Black|Social Science \/ Enslavement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacobs, Harriet A|Slaves|United States|Women slaves|Social conditions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486419312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780486419312\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52372211106073,"sku":"SP-9780486419312","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780486419312_spiral.png?v=1778439648","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/incidents-in-the-life-of-a-slave-girl","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
