Uncle Tom's Cabin
`So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war!' These words, said to have been uttered by Abraham Lincoln, signal the celebrity of Uncle Tom's Cabin. The first American novel to become an international best-seller, Stowe's novel charts the progress from slavery to freedom of fugitives who escape the chains of American chattel slavery, and of a martyr who transcends all earthly ties.

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl
Through Her Brother's Eyes: Incidents and “A True Tale”
When I first read John S. Jacobs's slave narrative, "A True Tale of Slavery," I thought it an exciting corroborative text. Engaged in the double task of establishing Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl as an African American text and as an autobiography, I welcomed her brother's narrative because it corroborates some of the most outrageous claims made by Jacobs's alter ego Linda Brent – including her assertion that she hid in G…

Harriet Jacobs's Family History
Subjects and/or Objects: Abolitionist and "Utopian" Women
Both Jean Fagan Yellin's Women and Sisters and Lawrence Foster's Women, Family, and Utopia deal with nineteenth-century women and community: sisters in Yellin's case, members of communal experiments in Foster's. In some respects, the women who populate Foster's work react in a different manner to the same pressures that drove Yellin's women to seek change through revolutionary activity. Yellin's mostly white abolitionist feminists equated their c…
