It was long thought to be fictional, utilizing the narrative techniques of the sentimental novel as it does and published under a pseudonym, until the 1980s when historian Jean Fagan Yellin established it was Harriet Jacobs' autobiography. In particular, the attention Jacobs called to the sexual abuse and exploitation of female… Read More
