Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself: illustrated Edition

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition.

Born into slavery but unaware of its cruel chains as a child, Harriet Jacobs lived a life filled with love and warmth—until the harsh reality of bondage shattered her world. As she grew older, she found herself the target of a relentless master whose power knew no bounds. With courage forged in the fire of oppression, she made a daring escape—not to immediate freedom, but to a tiny, suffocating attic where she spent seven agonizing years, watching her children grow up from a crack in the wall, unable to hold them, unable to run to them.

This is not just a story of slavery—it is a testament to a mother’s unbreakable spirit, a woman’s defiance in the face of tyranny, and the impossible choices she was forced to make.

Told in Jacobs’ own words, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is a harrowing yet inspiring true account of survival, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. A landmark in American history, this narrative exposes the brutal truths of slavery while celebrating the resilience of the human soul.

Will she ever reclaim her life? Will she ever see her children free?

Read her story. Remember her fight.
