Overview

2015 Reprint of the 1850 edition. One of the most famous and admired African-American women in U.S. history, Truth was driven by her devotion to the antislavery movement and her ardent support for women's rights. Truth was born into slavery in Swartekill, Ulster County, New York, but escaped with her infant daughter to freedom in 1826. After going to court to recover her son, in 1828 she became the first black woman to win such a case against a white man. Truth fled from bondage to become a powerful figure in the progressive movements reshaping American society. Her narrative, first published in 1850, provides a window onto the world of Northern slavery. Truth recounts her life as a slave in rural New York, her separation from her family, her religious conversion, and her life as a traveling preacher during the 1840s. She also describes her work as a social reformer, counselor of former slaves, and sponsor of a black migration to the West.
