Frederick Douglass's Narrative, first published in 1845, is an enlightening and incendiary text.

Like Douglass, Harriet Jacobs was born into slavery, and in 1861 she published Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, now recognized as the most comprehensive antebellum slave narrative written by a woman.
