Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl: Written by Herself, with "a True Tale of Slavery" by John S. Jacobs by Harriet a. Jacobs

5.0

I had to read this book on my own in order to write a paper for my American Literature class this semester. I highly enjoyed this book. It's a memoir, written in the 1850s, about a woman who escapes slavery. The way she does it is amazing and shocking. The things she experiences before escaping are heartbreaking. She also describes what she sees other slaves going through. Even though I had to read this for school, which is often reason enough for me to not like a book, I couldn't put this book down because it was so interesting. I talk about this more in my February, March, and April wrap up on my channel, and I plan on doing a full review as well.
