From slavery to liberation to life as an abolitionist, feminist, orator, and preacher-the autobiography of a woman who refused to be anything but free.

Über den Autor
Sojourner Truth (1797-1883) was a civil and women's rights activist. She was raised in Dutch-speaking Ulster County, New York, and was bought and sold into slavery four times. In 1827, Truth ran away with her child and found refuge with an abolitionist family. Once freed, Truth moved to New York City, where she became an itinerant preacher and worked with other abolitionists to spread the word on antislavery and women's rights. In her later years, she became involved with the Freedmen's Bureau in Washington, DC, lobbying against the Civil War and segregation.
