(More customer reviews)Jean Fagan Yellin, in her book HARRIET JACOBS A LIFE, has given to all of us a monumental story of courage, determination, and perseverance. Researching Harriet Jacobs' book, INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF A SLAVE GIRL, must have been a daunting task for Yellin, but the scholarship she presents in her 1987 Harvard edition of INCIDENTS gives a clearer picture of the struggle Harriet Jacobs endured during her years in slavery. Now with this new book, Yellin has enlarged for all of us the life that Jacobs lived after her desperate tale in INCIDENTS. Yellin, through her meticulous and painstaking research, gives us the full dimensions of Jacobs' entire life, as a writer, and as a woman who recognized the urgency to educate those who had suffered lives in slavery.
Whenever I pick up INCIDENTS, no matter where in the entire book, I feel empowered by Jacobs. With the publishing of this new work by Yellin, I feel empowered not only by Jacobs, but also by Yellin. These are two great achievements by two amazing women.
