Although Sojourner Truth was born into bondage and oppression, in
liberation she emerged as a leader in the most radical causes of
her era. She travelled the country as an outspoken and riveting
presence, battling for the abolition of slavery and for women's
suffrage. While her role in these movements has been
well-documented, biographers have frequently overlooked the
influence of religion in Truth's life. A participant in a number of
the most significant religious movements of her day, including the
Methodist Perfectionists, the Kingdom of Matthias, the Utopians,
and the Spiritualists, Truth drew her notions of justice from
religion. Sojourner Truth: Prophet of Social Justice provides a
concise biography of this important figure, integrating her
religious life in ways that shed light on Truth's work and the
religious movements of her day. Accompanied by primary source
documents including political records, speech transcripts, and
selections from her autobiography, Richman's biography provides a
rich and accessible narrative of Truth's life and legacy.
