![]() II: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Narrative of Sojourner Truth The History of Mary Prince, a West Indian Slave, (Kindle format).

There are some questions about the nature of her authorship (Wheelock), just as there are in the case of Sojourner Truth’s Narrative, taken down by Olive Gilbert. Prince was partially literate and her narrative was transcribed by Susanna Strickland and edited by the abolitionist writer Thomas Pringle. It’s very much a work in progress, and I invite any one who is able and willing to contribute to it, either by sending me material to add, reworking this post, or writing a guest post for this blog or sending a link to a post elsewhere.Īuthor of A History of Mary Prince (1831) the first slave narrative authored by a woman. ![]() This is the first in a series of posts on Africana women philosophers. ![]()
