About this ebook
A powerful memoir about the path to freedom and justice from one of the most important activists in American history, freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Editions line.
Born into slavery in New York, Isabella Baumfree became Sojourner Truth, one of the 19th century’s most powerful and outspoken advocates for abolition and women’s rights. In her remarkable 1850 narrative—dictated to a friend because she could not read or write—she recounts her incredible journey to freedom.
This foundational work of American literature offers an intimate and unflinching account of the brutalities of slavery in the North, the spiritual awakening that fueled Truth’s activism, and her tireless fight for justice. Both raw and deeply moving, her autobiography is a testament to speaking truth to power.
