I had heard the name over & over again & it finally dawned on me to find a book to read about her. I was shocked to find that there was so much about her life that I had no idea about. This book had so many different things about her life that were eye opening. Learning about the various places that she lived & how she had a family as well. The issues she faced was unbelievable & so unfortunate. Seeing how she became friends w/ certain people yet others she was not inline with was also surprising. The amount of people she inspired during all her travels was amazing. The way she stood up for women & Black women especially was not something everyone was able to do. So yeah it's worth the read.
