Cumbreland, Rhode Island, U.S.A. Harvard Univ Pr. 1999. (ISBN: 0674447468) . Trade paperback. Near fine condition. Fourteenth printing. Harriet A Jacobs was born a slave in North Caroline in 1813. Her grandmother hid her from her master for seven years, her brother escaped and spoke out to abolition, and she rescued her two children and sent them north. She recalls the degradation of slavery and the special sexual oppression she found as a slave woman: the mater who was determined to make her his concubine, his jealous wife, the future congressman who fathered her children but broke his promist to set them free.
