Relevant to current racial oppression

Excellent. The story of Linda's life and struggles and her reflections of how the evil institution of slavery affected her life and society are congruent to the continued oppression of African Americans today. Very interesting to read after the murder of George Floyd and ongoing protests.

Great read!

Gripping, well written with historical reference. A inspirational story! And ridiculous that extra words need to be written to please some word minimum.

Heartbroken in every way

It is unfathomable to even begin to understand what it is like not being allowed to just be... What human beings are doing to others because of some stupid backwards thinking to this day is despicable... We all bleed. We all see the same sun. We all breath the same air. We all die one day. We are biologically the same from the inside - why does the outside matter...?
We need to continue to tell about these lives to never forget...

A Much Needed Read

I was enthralled by this young woman and how she conveyed her thoughts and feelings about being enslaved in America. The personal aspect drew me in and I found myself transported to the period. A must read for both young and old.

The truth of slavery

This was a very interesting, sad, heartwarming and heartbreaking book. Written by a young slave girl and her struggles for her entire life. All she ever strived for her children to be educated and for freedom.

A Story of Resilience and Sacrifice in Suffering

Incidents in the life of a Slave Girl is disappointing, yet still amazing journey through a black woman’s experience through slavery. The autobiography sheds light on the numerous different aspects of being an enslaved person and the extent of white supremacy utilized by any means in regards to maintaining power. Linda’s story shines the spotlight on the inhumanity of slavery. The mistreatment and inconsideration in regards to other human beings and is a reflection of ones morals.
Learn some history and listen up! This book my teach you something about yourself you didn’t know.
