One of the few existing autobiographies of a female slave, this
presents a unique perspective on the complex plight of the black
woman as slave and as writer. 'I was born a slave; but I never knew
it till six years of happy childhood had passed away,' begins
Jacobs's fascinating autobiography. Full of telling detail, simple
yet insightful, it charts the ups and downs of her precarious
existence from girlhood to eventual freedom. (Kirkus UK)
Of many slave narratives published before the Civil War, this is one of the few written by a woman. It blends and manipulates several narrative techniques, including those of sentimental novel, of autobiography, and of the classical slave narrative.
