Harriet Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl and the Gendered Nature of Slavery
This 6-page undergraduate paper looks at Harriet Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, and argues that Jabobs would have disagreed with Douglass's claim about women's rights and instead would have insisted that slavery is a deeply gendered system which must be approached as a gendered system in any attempt made to dismantle it.
