"Although Sojourner Truth was born into bondage and oppression, in liberation she
emerged as a leader in the most radical causes of her era. She travelled the country
as an outspoken and riveting presence, battling for the abolition of slavery and for
women's suffrage. While her role in these movements has been well-documented, biographers
have frequently overlooked the influence of religion in Truth's life. A participant
in a number of the most significant religious movements of her day, including the
Methodist Perfectionists, the Kingdom of Matthias, the Utopians, and the Spiritualists,
Truth drew her notions of justice from religion. Sojourner Truth: Prophet of Social
Justice provides a concise biography of this important figure, integrating her religious
life in ways that shed light on Truth's work and the religious movements of her day.
Accompanied by primary source documents including political records, speech transcripts,
and selections from her autobiography, Richman's biography provides a rich and accessible
narrative of Truth's life and legacy."--Back cover
