Excerpt from Autobiography of a Female Slave
My mother was a very bright mulatto woman, and my father, [9] I suppose, was a white man, though I know nothing of him; for, with the most unpaternal feeling, he deserted me. A consequence of this amalgamation was my very fair and beauti ful complexion. My skin was no perceptible shade darker than that Of my young mistresses. My eyes were large and dark, while a profusion of nut-brown hair, straight and soft as the whitest lady's in the land, fell in showery redundance over my neck and shoulders. I was often mistaken for a white child; and in my rambles through the woods, many caresses have I received from wayside travellers; and the exclamation, What a beautiful child! Was quite common. Owing to this personal beauty I was a great pet with my master's sister, Mrs. Woodbridge, who, I believe I have stated, was a widow, and childless; so upon me she lavished all the fondness Of a warm and loving heart.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an autobiography of a female slave written in the 1850s. The author recounts her life from her early days of childhood innocence under a loving master and mistress to her sale at age 10 and her life in the field, the kitchen, and the "big house" as she was passed from one abusive owner to another, enduring physical and mental cruelty. The book also includes conversations between the author and a sympathetic white abolitionist schoolteacher that question the institution of slavery. Within the broader context of the American Civil War and the fight for the abolition of slavery, the narrative provides a first-hand account of the brutality of slavery and the resistance and strength of a single young woman who dared to dream of freedom. The author's insights provide a deeply moving narrative that underscores the inhumanity of slavery and the ongoing fight for equality and freedom for all.
