«The Little Prisoner» is a memoir by Jane Elliott, published by Harper Element in paperback, in English.
Jane Elliott was four years old when she fell into the hands of her stepfather, a man who subjected her to physical, psychological and sexual abuse for seventeen years. Locked in a house turned into a prison, she survived thanks to a world of fantasy. At twenty-one she escaped and, later, reported her abuser to the authorities.
This work was published in 2005 with the subtitle «How a Childhood Was Stolen and a Trust Betrayed». «Jane Elliott» is a pseudonym.
For those seeking true stories of survival and overcoming after a childhood marked by abuse.
Jane Elliott is an American diversity educator. As a schoolteacher, Elliott became known for the "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise she created to teach students about the effects of discrimination and racial stereotyping. She first conducted the exercise with her third-grade class on April 5, 1968, the day after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The local newspaper's publication of compositions that the children had written about the experience led to much broader media interest in it.
