Women’s Slave Narratives






Women’s Slave Narratives ( Amazon link ) by Annie L. Burton and Others

Unflinching accounts of slavery in the antebellum American South are presented in moving testimonies of five African-American women. Covering a wide range of narrative styles, the voices provide authentic recollections of hardship, frustration, and hope — from Mary Prince’s groundbreaking account of a lone woman’s tribulations and courage to Annie Burton’s eulogy to motherhood.
