Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the life narrative of Sojourner Truth, a remarkable woman who endured the horrors of slavery and rose to become a prominent abolitionist and women's rights activist. Born into slavery in 1797, Truth recounts her early life under cruel masters, the sale and separation of her family, and the dehumanizing realities of her existence. After gaining her freedom, she became a powerful voice for equality, traveling the country and delivering speeches that challenged prevailing notions of race and gender. This book places Truth's experiences within the broader context of the abolitionist movement and the struggle for women's suffrage, shedding light on the complex social and political landscape of 19th-century America. Through Truth's compelling narrative, readers gain a profound understanding of the horrors of slavery and the indomitable spirit of a woman who fought against all odds for freedom and equality.
