As a small child, she was stolen from her home. Placed aboard a dank, dark, disease-infested ship and chained to stranges for months. Somehow she managed to survive the journey. The young nameless girl, missing her two front teeth, was purchased by the Wheatley family and given the name of Phillis. The Wheatleys soon discovered how bright the little girl was and decided to educate her. She grew into an amazing Poet at a time when women and especially enslaved black women were seen as inferior and considered ignorant. Her book of poetry inspired a nation and soon after she gained her freedom.
