Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Truth's narrative begins with her birth as Isabella Baumfree in New York around 1797. She describes her early experiences in slavery, the brutal conditions she faced, and her eventual escape to freedom. After gaining her freedom, Truth changed her name to Sojourner Truth, reflecting her mission to travel and speak out against the injustices of slavery and to advocate for the rights of women. Her powerful speeches and unwavering commitment to social justice made her a significant figure in both the abolitionist movement and the early women's rights movement.Olive Gilbert, who worked closely with Truth, played a crucial role in shaping the narrative, helping to articulate Truth's thoughts and experiences in a way that would resonate with readers. The book captures Truth's indomitable spirit, her faith, and her profound belief in the equality of all people.
