Dearest Stage 32ers,
Harriet Jacobs hid in her grandmother's home; fooled her 'master' into thinking she'd fled to New York, and he went broke searching for her; finally she managed to dress as a sailor and sail to New York, where she worked with activist/abolitionist Frederick Douglas, who'd also fled to New York dressed as a sailor. He persuades Harriet to write her autobiography, which becomes the leading slave narrative written by a woman.
