Autobiography of a Female Slave
Mattie Griffith
In the pages of this putative autobiography the author poses as a slave for the purpose of bringing attention to the injustice of slavery. The actual author Mattie Griffith, passing as a black, wanted her book to horrify and shame the nation. Pseudo-slave narratives like Griffith's appeared over the course of the abolitionist movement, and this is the only one now in print.
