Reader be assured this narrative is no fiction. I am aware that some of my adventures may seem incredible; but they are, nevertheless, strictly true. I have not exaggerated the wrongs inflicted by Slavery; on the contrary, my descriptions fall far short of the facts. I have concealed the names of places, and given persons fictitious names. I had no motive for secrecy on my own account, but I deemed it kind and considerate towards others to pursue this course

Autorenporträt
Harriet Jacobs was born on February 1813 in North Carolina. Though born a slave, she was able to learn to read and write, and eventually escaped, finding refuge in the household of writer Nathaniel Parker Willis. While living with the Willis family, Jacobs began composing a memoir in her free time. It was originally turned down by several publishers but eventually became one of the most widely read books of its time. Harriet Jacobs died on March 1897.
