After hiding in her grandmother's attic for seven years, Harriet Ann Jacobs was finally able to escape servitude-and her master's sexual abuse-when she fled to the North. Once there, she became a very active abolitionist, and her correspondence with Harriet Beecher Stowe inspired her to write Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl about her years as an enslaved person. She published the narrative in 1861 under the pseudonym Linda Brent, and the book was written as a novel with fictionalized characters to protect Jacobs from retribution by her former owners. (Dr. Flint, i.e., the real Dr. James Norcom, is Linda Brent's master in the novel.) The story emphasized certain negative aspects of slavery--especially the struggles of female slaves under sexually abusive masters, cruel mistresses, and the sale of their children--in order to play on the sympathies of white middle-class women in the North.
