Summary: A woman's life in the Black Panther movement
Comment: I liked this book. Elaine Brown was incredibly honest in her writing, especially when she wrote about her sexuality. Most of us would have omitted certain incidents that she included--getting lots of money after a night with a rich donor, getting beat up by a lover, sleeping with her friend's husband--yet it makes her story very human because it expresses the complexity of human interactions. Her mistakes helped me to identify with her, though I am not African American. She was very vulnerable in her relationships with men, even though she was the head of the Black Panther Party. The Party gave Brown the opportunity to work toward correcting social injustices. But the environment was filled with guns and violence directed both inward and outward, as well as much sexual exploitation. At the end, I was happy when she flew away from her Panther life because she eventually feared for her life and she had begun to incorporate some of the violence of the male Panthers in her actions. Yet she also accomplished much good through her association. Elaine Brown has many talents to give the world and I hope that she is continuing to work towards the goals that attracted her to the Panthers in the first place.

Summary: Excellent Biographical Read
Comment: I enjoyed Elaine Brown's book "A Taste of Power: A Black Woman's story was by far the most engaging read in terms of an autobiography that I have ever encountered. I was totally drawn in by the author's life experiences and strength. She gained in grace as one gains in the hardships of life.

Summary: "The best damn autobiography ever"
Comment: Having a love of black history and women, this book blew me away in the five days I read it. My history project in college this past year, was based on the black panthers. Having to find my information for the project, I read many books, based on the revolutionaty panthers. "A Taste of Power, blew me away, and made me feel proud to be black and a WOMAN!
