This book is better than reality tv. It is a collection of real life accounts, diary entries, and pictures of black women in America during slavery and after emancipation.It includes excerps from slaves, doctors, teachers, writers, womens rights and black activists, maids, cooks, laundresses, etc.It gives a real life account of what was really going on in the 1800's in black america.The book made me laugh, cry, get angry, etc., while reading it I went through a barrage of emotions.Among its entertainment values, it is also very educational and informative. I had no idea that there were black female lawyers and Doctors in the 1840's in the US. Some of these people were the first female lawyers and Doctors in the US.By and far it is good reading whether for fun or information.
As an African American female I found this book to be very informative. I am always in awe of your strength and character. I look forward to learning more!
Very good information on the history of African Amercian. women. Good tool for a high school or college course on African American studies.
I became aware of this book by reading Beverly Jenkins' historical romance novels. They are excellent too. She always includes a list of the history books she used to write her story.
Awesome write and phenomenal read. I am using this book as a reference guide and it is truly amazing. It has giving me a deeper insight and the meaning of sisterhood.
