Born a slave in New York State around 1797 and given the name Isabella by her owner, she had already fled to freedom when New York's 1827 anti-slavery law officially emancipated her. Deeply religious, she adopted the name Sojourner Truth and became a traveling lay preacher and lecturer. Though she was illiterate, her extraordinary speaking skills electrified audiences and brought her widespread fame.&&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RSojourner Truth dictated her &&LI&&RNarrative &&L/I&&Rto fellow feminist and abolitionist, Olive Gilbert. First published in 1850, it reveals the striking differences between slavery in the North and in the South. For example, while hideous conditions could be found in either region, Northern slaves were much more isolated from other African-Americans, and therefore more psychologically dependent upon their masters.&&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RAn essential document of American history, &&LI&&RNarrative of Sojourner Truth&&L/I&&R swirls with the fiery insights of this complex, accomplished, and magnetic woman, a preacher and a suffragist, and one of our most consummately human figures.&&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R &&L/DIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LDIV&&R&&LSTRONG&&RImani Perry&&L/B&&R&&L/B&&R is an assistant professor of law at Rutgers Law School in Camden, New Jersey.
