Jacobs' single work, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, published in 1861 under the pseudonym Linda Brent, was one of the first autobiographical narratives about the struggle for freedom by female slaves and an account of the sexual harassment and abuse they endured. It is based on events of her own life. Voices Sheila Nutt Roberto Mighty Music Bathed In The Light by Kevin MacLeod Performed by Kevin MacLeod Funding for this project A. J. & M. D.
