| Research Abstract |
The research into nineteenth-century slave narratives has mainly focused on several self-written narratives by men such as Frederick Douglass and William Wells Brown ; in contrast, my project covers women's narratives, both self-written and orally-narrated. My research explores broken ties of families, sexual exploitation, and denials of motherhood, recorded from women's points of view as daughters, mothers, wives in slave families. Features particular to women's narratives on their experience as slaves include abolitionist messages by which white readers, especially women, were morally and socially inspired to take action in the antebellum North.
