Discusses the genre of narratives of freedom and examines women's relationships to the community as they seek to illustrate a collective free identity. The author argues that these texts represent a sense of civil rights that emerges prior even to the ideas of racial uplift that reached a height for women in the late nineteenth century and moved into the twentieth century.
