"To be a slave. To be owned by another person, as a car, house or table is owned. To live as a piece of property that could be sold, a child sold from its mother, a wife from her husband. To be considered not human, but a 'thing' that plowed the fields, cut the wood, cooked the food, nursed another's children, a 'thing whose sole function was determined by the one who owned you." This book is about how it felt.
