From the Publisher
" Washington deserves out gratitude for reclaiming Truth and shedding light on the most enigmatic black woman of the 19th century." --Darlene Clark Hine, Michigan State University
From the Back Cover
One of the most famous and admired African-American women in U.S. history, Sojourner Truth sang, preached, and debated at camp meetings across the country, led by her devotion to the antislavery movement and her ardent pursuit of women's rights. Born into slavery in 1797, Truth fled from bondage some 30 years later to become a powerful figure in the progressive movements reshaping American society.
This remarkable narrative, first published in 1850, offers a rare glimpse into the little-documented 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. A spellbinding orator and implacable prophet, she also describes her work as a social reformer, counselor of former slaves, and sponsor of a black migration to the West.
Frederick Douglass described her message as a "strange compound of wit and wisdom, of wild enthusiasm, and flint-like common sense."
