Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself

How it begins

[Transcriber’s note: The spelling irregularities of the original have been retained in this etext.] “Northerners know nothing at all about Slavery. They think it is perpetual bondage only. They have no conception of the depth of degradation involved in that word, Slavery; if they had, they would never cease their efforts until so horrible a system was overthrown.” “Rise up, ye women that are at ease! Hear my voice, ye careless daughters! Give ear unto my speech.”
