Description

One of hundreds of slave narratives published just before the Civil War, this account is unique in that it is written by a woman.

This offers a different, perhaps more realistic, perspective on slave experience than that presented in the more typical `heroic' male narrative.

The work is notable for its blending and manipulation of several narrative techniques, including those of the sentimental novel, of autobiography, and of the classical slave narrative.
