Paper Summary:

This paper examines the sexual duality in the life of Linda, a slave girl and the main character from Harriet Jacobs's "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl". The paper shows how sexuality informs the life of an African American slave woman in ways that cannot be articulated by free women from the North or even by African American male slaves.

From the Paper:

"Published in 1861, Harriet Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is the first published narrative authored by a woman who was a former slave. However, despite this distinction and the earlier slave narratives of Frederick Douglass and John Brown, Jacob chose to conceal her identity and to publish under the pseudonym Linda Brent."
