Born into slavery, Harriet Jacobs has no rights - not even the right to marry the man she loves. Instead, she is faced with the demands of a master who believes he is entitled not only to her labor, but to her body. Only great courage, wit, and determination will allow Harriet to preserve her self-respect - and someday win her freedom. This autobiography tells the true story of a remarkable woman.
