description: A compelling account of the life and labor of an abolitionist, feminist, and millennialist, Narrative of Sojourner Truth tells the story of a moral leader and freed slave in nineteenth century America. As dictated through the pen of a white female abolitionist, Sojourner Truth details a slave narrative and moral biography. She transforms herself from Isabella, freed slave, to Sojourner Truth, voice for women, blacks, and all those who believe in human freedom, and becomes one of the most important voices of the nineteenth century.
