Within this volume she explores the life of female slaves on plantations, the abuse and hardships that they had to endure, and their desperate efforts to protect their children. 'Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl' represents an authentic insight into the lives of female slaves in pre-emancipation America and is highly recommended for those with an interest in American history.
