(Part.1) Harriet Jacob’s narrative shares a riveting tale of her experience as a female slave and highlights the terrors of the impoverishment of women rights at the hands of men. Harriet Jacobs employs her experiences of helplessness as a tool to coax the audience to identify with her not as a slave, but as a fellow woman. In the context of her narrative, she added more misfortune as what she had been through as female slave and the purpose of her own writing was not only to reveal the suffering of slaves, but also to convey the extreme gender inequality of 19^th century U.S.A. While Douglass is more focus on the analysis of the discrepancy between white supremacy and African American and plug in contrary statement in the end of the paragraph. Instead of the purpose of fame and famous as a writer, Harriet choose to riveting story of female suffering at the hand of maters and reach out the female audiences.

Here is the excerpt from the Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself, “But I do earnestly desire to arouse the women of the North to a realizing sense of the condition of two millions of women at the South, still in bondage, suffering what I suffered, and most of them far worse.” (1) In the purpose of her writing, she provides both insightful fact as a female slave and motivate awaken the female rights in the period of the time.

(Part. 2)            Even the slavery abolition movement has positive outcome throughout United States in 1865. Three things that I learned from the subject of slavery is the significance of education, humanity and woman influence in ending slavery.

With white masters intentionally remain the slaves uneducated and blocked the personal information from slaves. It has reminding me of China Government blocked certain websites such as Facebook, Youtube…etc domestically so the government can remain their folk ignorance so they can be easily controlled and managed.

About the humanity, we see men selfishly fulfill their own desire of abused women sexually, but Harriet still hold the strength of raised her child in an underprivileged situation and contribute her own power as writing to influence the society as a whole.

Harriet Ann Jacobson has elegantly use her own power as a woman to break the glass ceiling thru the gender and race. Her work eventually demonstrated the empower of woman rights movement, promote the equivalent opportunity for education between race and gender and set up the stepping stone for ending the slavery abolition.
