Description
Reader, did you ever hate? I hope not. I never did but once; and I trust I never shall again. Somebody has called it "the atmosphere of hell"; and I believe it is so.
First published in 1861 under a pseudonym, this is the autobiography of Harriet Jacobs, a mother, fugitive, and slave. The book outlines her life, the struggles she faced as a female slave, as well as the hardship she endured to protect her children and the fear of them being sold.
As well as a precious historical document, it is also a timeless exploration of issues of race, gender, and the struggle for freedom.

About the Author
Harriet Jacobs (1813 or 1815 - 1897) was an African American writer. Born into slavery in Edenton, North Carolina, she was sexually harassed by her master. When he threatened to sell her children, she hid in a tiny crawlspace under the roof of her grandmother's house, where she wasn't even able to stand. After staying there for seven years, she finally managed to escape to New York. Her autobiography, published in 1861, is now considered an American classic.
