Born into slavery, Isabella was to be a slave for thirty years. She suffered bitterly: her brothers and sisters were sold off in her infancy, she grew up without education and remained illiterate. She was to be bought and sold four times by a succession of owners, some of whom abused her physically and sexually.
She spent the remainder of her life fighting for justice, becoming a remarkable speaker and preacher and an increasingly well-known figure.
