Rating: 5
Summary: GOD bless the African American woman
Comment: THE AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN--cradle of civilization-- BOW when you enter her circle. O mightly spirit, direct her path and bless her every footstep for the world is beholding to her. The lesser informed among us would have you believe differently, but, research would prove my characterization of the Black Woman.
The 150 great women mentioned in this book did not include your mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, etc, but it could have if you are of African American decent. Please know that this author could only write about a limited number of women who have left an indilible impact on society. In 1619, only the" biggest and baddest" Africans survived the death-trap journies across the Atlantic Ocean in those filthy slave ships. They arrived here with their African names--no wonder some of the women were identified as unknown by name because their slavers had't forced them to adopt another European name by that time. The slavers surly were not going to call them by their rich African names. Those barbaric slavers were skilled in dismanteling one another as they only knew barbaric behavior. Culture existed only in Africa in 1619 and not in Europe or Asia- -which is the homeland of the slavers.
Bolden has done an outstanding job with this book and, if you are smart, you will surly put this book on your "must read" list.
It was a joy and pleasure to read about some of the women of a bygone era that I already knew about or learned about for the first time.
