Focusing on the harrowing experiences of female slaves, the autobiography reveals the life of Harriet Ann Jacobs, who wrote under the pseudonym Linda Brent. Through her narrative, she highlights the dual struggles of race and gender, detailing the sexual abuse endured by women on plantations and their fierce determination to protect their children from being sold. Published in 1861, the book combines elements of sentimental novels to convey deep emotional truths about motherhood and the quest for freedom, making a significant contribution to slave narratives.
