Harriet Jacobs's "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" remains
the most-read woman's slave narrative of all time. Jean Fagan
Yellin recounts the experiences that shaped Incidents-the years
Jacobs spent hiding in her grandmother's attic from her sexually
abusive master-as well as illuminating the wider world into which
Jacobs escaped. Yellin's groundbreaking scholarship restores a life
whose sorrows and triumphs reflect the history of the nineteenth
century, from slavery to the Civil War, to Reconstruction and
beyond. Winner of the 2004 Frederick Douglass Prize, presented by
Yale University's Gilder-Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery,
Resistance, and Abolition, awarded to the year's best non-fiction
book on slavery, resistance and abolition, the most prestigious
award for the study of the black experience.
