Sojourner Truth (1797–1883)

This spunky, resilient woman faced a lot of horrific circumstances and did some extraordinary things. Well worth the read, though it should be noted that the work is not actually autobiographical.

After the state of New York freed all its slaves in 1826 (!), Sojourner Truth traveled from New York
to Massachusetts and back, preaching...Gifts from her Mother, her extraordinary religious visions sustain and inspire her.

Against all expectations, she frees her son with the help of lawyers, courts, and Quakers.
Eventuall6y her son Peter goes to Sea for many years as she continues her travels and preaching.

This account is Sojourner telling her story to Olive Gilbert up to her last interview with her master. She was an amazing lady. She took on the courts to get her son back for an improbable win. She walked all over New England walking and working, preaching the gospel. What she goes on to do after this book is even more amazing.

This was really good and interesting. The language is dated and a bit too much God for my atheist tastes but standard in this type of narrative.
I own a digital copy of this book and listened to the audiobook on hoopla. I did not care for the audiobook at all.
