About the book Only book length slave narrative written by a woman Went against traditional 19th century values One of the first open discussions about sexual harassment and abuse endured by slave women

Main Points Slavery was an evil that contaminated many Southern families, making them and their society in many ways dysfunctional. Slaves were their master’s property The mistress was jealous and had rage towards the helpless victim Being beautiful was a curse Southern women often married men knowing they had fathered slave children

Questions for thought Would this book have had the same impact if written by the mistress? How could a mistress retaliate against her husband?
