My Bondage and My Freedom

is an autobiographical slave narrative written by Frederick Douglass and published in 1855. It is the second of three autobiographies written by Douglass, and is mainly an expansion of his first (Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass), discussing in greater detail his transition from bondage to liberty.

Following his liberation, Douglass, a former slave, went on to become a prominent abolitionist, speaker, author, and publisher.
