哈麗特·雅各布斯[a] （1813年或1815年[b] – 1897年3月7日）是一位非裔美國廢奴主義者和作家。 [5]
她生於一個黑奴家庭，而且曾受到奴隸主的性騷擾。奴隸主向哈麗特·雅各布斯表示如果她不服從，他就會把她的孩子賣掉。後來哈麗特·雅各布斯躲在祖母房子屋頂下的一個狹小的空間裡。在那裡呆了七年之後，她逃到美國北部。後來她成為一位保姆，並與廢奴主義者和女權主義者取得聯繫。
南北戰爭期間和剛結束時，她與女兒一起前往聯邦佔領下的美利堅聯盟國部分地區，並為獲得自由的奴隸建立了兩所學校。

注釋
- ^ Many recent editions of her autobiography call her "Harriet A. Jacobs" or "Harriet Ann Jacobs". Her biographer and editor Jean Fagan Yellin uses "Harriet A. Jacobs" on the title page and "Jacobs, Harriet Ann" in the index (p. 330) of her edition of the autobiography.[2] However, in her 2004 biography Harriet Jacobs: A Life, Yellin consistently uses the name "Harriet Jacobs" without any middle name or middle initial. In the index she is listed (on p. 384) as "Jacobs, Harriet". Not a single of the many documents cited in both books has a middle name "Ann". The inscription on the tombstone simply reads "Harriet Jacobs".
- ^ Her biographer Yellin gives 1813 as the year of her birth, without detailing day, month or season.[3] Her tombstone, however, gives February 11, 1815, as the date of her birth (see picture at the end of the article). Mary Maillard, who would in 2017 become the editor of the letters of Jacobs's daughter, argues in favor of 1815 in an article published in 2013.[4] The dates and ages in this article are given according to Yellin.
