About The Author: Harriet Jacobs (1813 or 1815 – March 7, 1897), an African-American abolitionist and author, penned the acclaimed autobiography "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" under the pseudonym Linda Brent, published in 1861 and revered as an "American classic." Born into slavery in Edenton, Jacobs, overcoming adversity, left a lasting legacy as an abolitionist and author. About The Book: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl tells the compelling true story of an individual's quest for self-identity, self-preservation, and freedom. Authored by Harriet Jacobs (1813–1897), it stands out as one of the rare slave narratives written by a woman. This autobiographical tale recounts Jacobs' extraordinary journey from a life of servitude and degradation in North Carolina to eventual liberty and reunification with her children in the North. Published in 1861 following Jacobs' courageous escape from a cruel master, the memoir provides a powerful and unflinching portrayal of the master-slave relationship's abuses and hypocrisy. Jacobs candidly describes the horrors of her slave experience, her eventual successful escape, and seven years in self-imposed exile, concealed in a coffin-like "garret" attached to her grandmother's porch.
