Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is a slave narrative that was published in 1861 by Harriet Ann Jacobs, using the pen name Linda Brent . The book is an in-depth chronological account of Jacobs’ life as a slave. It addresses the struggles and sexual abuse that young women slaves faced on the plantations, and how these struggles were harsher than what men suffered as slaves. This is an excellent companion book to 12 Years As a Slave by Solomon Northup.
