What a gift to be on Bonnets at Dawn, a longstanding podcast with amazing hosts! Lauren Burke and Hannah Chapman, authors of Why She Wrote, blow my mind with the work they do in so many forms! Once we recorded this conversation, my progress on the Broadview Edition of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl picked up steam.
Heads up: I misspoke by saying that Mr. Sands was in his 40s—he was approaching 30—but my point stands: he was a grown-ass man when Jacobs/Linda was 15. Anyway, I hope you’ll listen and share widely! There’s so much to appreciate about Harriet Jacobs and Frances Harper, and we discuss both!!! Listen to the episode here or wherever you get your podcasts.
