Paper Summary:
The paper offers an analysis of how Harriet Jacobs, in "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," likens slavery and oppression to the situation of patriarchal control of white men over their wives as well as their slaves. The paper quotes Jacobs' comparison to William W. Brown's "A Fugitive Slave."From the Paper:
"Throughout history women of all colors have traditionally been limited by rigid roles and norms of behavior imposed by patriarchy. Marriage basically represented ownership of the wife by the husband often positing women to a position no freer than that of cattle. Women were limited in exercising freedom of expression, were dependent upon their husbands for income and often remained vulnerable to the moods of their husband."More papers on Black History:
