Nice unclipped DJ in mylar. 6.25" by 9.5", 265 pages. - Born into slavery in 1797 in Ulster County, NY, "Isabelle" was freed by NY State in 1828, but by then she had been sold at auction, she had watched her parents die of neglect, and she had been forced to bear children to increase 'the stock' of her master. In 1843 at the age of 46, she began to travel, preach, and teach against slavery. With a name change to 'Sojourner Truth' she became an outstanding speaker at anti-slavery meetings and appeared alongside well known abolotionists. She also championed women's rights, prison reform and better conditions for working people. In short, she became a legend in her own time - and her story is a remarkable book to read..
