Description: This book is a collection of religious meditations, essays, and reminiscences by a formerly enslaved woman who was an early advocate for education and women's rights. The author, who was only given six weeks of schooling, taught herself to read and write and became a public speaker and author. Her writings challenge prevailing racial and gender stereotypes of the time, arguing for the intellectual and spiritual equality of all people. The book provides a unique glimpse into the experiences of African Americans in the 19th century and offers valuable insights into the power of education, faith, and perseverance in overcoming adversity.
