Who did many people think actually wrote incidents in the life of a slave girl by Harriet Ann Jacobs?

Many people speculated that the true authorship of "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" was not Harriet Ann Jacobs but rather her white abolitionist editor, Lydia Maria Child. This skepticism arose due to the book's sophisticated writing style and the societal norms of the time that often questioned the intellectual capabilities of enslaved individuals. However, Jacobs's personal experiences and her powerful narrative strongly indicate that she was indeed the author, using the pseudonym Linda Brent to tell her story.
