| Summary | "A Slave Girl's Story" by Kate Drumgoold is an autobiography written in the late 19th century. The text chronicles the life experiences of the author, who was born into slavery in Virginia and details her journey toward freedom and self-education. The narrative emphasizes themes of faith, resilience, and the importance of education in overcoming the hardships of her past. The opening portion of the book introduces us to the author's early life as a slave and the profound impact her mother had on her values and aspirations. Drumgoold reflects on her initial feelings of freedom, the traumatic separation from her mother, and her eventual reunification with her family after the Civil War. She describes the love and support she received from both her biological and “white” mothers while expressing gratitude for the progress and opportunities afforded to her and her race in the post-emancipation era. Throughout these early chapters, Drumgoold’s faith in God emerges as a guiding force that provides hope and strength amidst challenges, underscoring her commitment to uplifting her community through education.
