Summary
A powerful document about slavery, emancipation, faith, and resilience, Narrative of Sojourner Truth chronicles the life of a nineteenth-century trailblazer in the battle for racial and gender equality. Beginning with her earliest reminiscences of her brutal childhood, Truth recounts the first thirty years of her life in bondage, including her marriage and her trials as a mother, and then describes her eventual liberation. At the heart of this extraordinary record is Truth’s spiritual epiphany, which gave her the voice to champion the word of God and the strength to become not only an indomitable advocate for civil rights and women’s rights but a pioneer in social reform.
In her own words, as dictated to a friend, Sojourner Truth’s grounded, empowering testimony is one of the most important slave narratives ever written.
Revised edition: Previously published as Narrative of Sojourner Truth, this edition of Narrative of Sojourner Truth (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
