A short summary of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl:
The autobiography of Harriet Ann Jacobs, enslaved woman.
My favorite Harriet Ann Jacobs quote from the book:
"Cruelty is contagious in uncivilized communities."
Questions to ponder while reading the book:
Is beauty a curse?
Could you marry a man like that?
My review of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl:
A heartbreaking read.
I can't believe how many people participated in this evil.
One of the best books from an enslaved perspective.
