About the Book Narrative of Sojourner Truth

Narrative of Sojourner Truth is an autobiographical account of Sojourner Truth’s life, transcribed by Olive Gilbert and first published in 1850. This narrative provides a powerful and personal insight into the experiences of a woman born into slavery in New York and her journey to freedom and activism.

Sojourner Truth, born Isabella Baumfree, details her experiences growing up in slavery, including the harsh treatment she endured and the separation from her family. The narrative offers a rare glimpse into the conditions of Northern slavery, which, while different from the South, were still brutal and dehumanizing.

Truth gained her freedom in 1828 when New York State abolished slavery. She adopted the name Sojourner Truth to signify her mission to travel and spread the truth about slavery and injustice. Her deep religious faith and spiritual experiences are central to her story. She became a traveling preacher, advocating for abolition, women’s rights, and other social reforms.

The narrative highlights her work as an abolitionist and women’s rights activist. Her famous speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” is a powerful call for gender and racial equality.

Sojourner Truth’s life story is a testament to her resilience and dedication to fighting for equality and justice. Her narrative remains an essential document of American history, offering insights into the struggles and triumphs of African Americans and women in the 19th century.
