Bøker i The Schomburg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers-serien

An original work of fiction first published in 1893, this is one volume in a series of thirty, The Schomberg Library of Nineteenth-Century Black Women Writers.

Originally written in 1859, this is the autobiography of an American black woman who expresses her indignation, abolitionist sentiments, fiery temper and joy of life as she reveals the private lives of the white women for whom she worked.

In an extended interview in 1883 Silvia Dubois, then nearly 100 years old, told her life story to Dr. Larison. This edition preserves Larison's idiosyncratic phonetic spelling, with annotations.
