Description:

The subject of this biography- SOJOURNER TRUTH- as she now calls herself-but whose name originally was Isabella-was born- as near as she can now calculate between the years 1797 and 1800.' (Excerpt) One of the most important documents of slavery ever written, this landmark in the literature of African-American women is the eloquent autobiography of a woman who became a pioneer in the struggles for racial and sexual equality. The spiritual, inspiring narrative bears witness to Sojourner Truth's 30 years as a slave in upstate New York.
