Sojourner Truth: A Life, a Symbol Overview

Sojourner Truth - ex-slave and fiery abolitionist of imposing physique, itinerant Pentecostal preacher, and singer of wit and originality - became a national symbol for black American women. This biography sets out to uncover the life of a complex woman.

Sojourner Truth: A Life, a Symbol Specifications

Though she was born into slavery and subjected to physical and sexual abuse by her owners, Sojourner Truth, who eventually fled the South for the promise of the North, came to represent the power of individual strength and perseverance. She championed the disadvantaged--black in the South, women in the North--yet spent much of her free life with middle-class whites, who supported her, yet never failed to remind her that she was a second class citizen. Slowly, but surely, Sojourner climbed from beneath the weight of slavery, secured respect for herself, and utilized the distinction of her race to become not only a symbol for black women, but for the feminist movement as a whole.
