Washington and her students did a great deal of research; turning up new documents; to open up the life of this iconic figure. The book is written with sympathy and clarity. It reads easily; and I think that the picture of Truth is balanced.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An amazing lady and her world.By Jean PedersonI love this book; because it told me so much more about Sojourner Truth than I've ever read anywhere else.Ms Washington has done a scholarly; thoroughly researched job here; without letting her material acquire the dryness of pedantry. I have read a lot of history books where the reading has become laborious; even though the subject originally interested me; this book was hard to put down! The great thing about this book is that Sojourner is not portrayed in a vacuum. The author has placed her within the context of her times; interacting with other people of all types.There is a panoramic view of the nineteenth century here that is seldom achieved by a modern author. The times; movements and people are brought to life; in all their messy complexity; and I felt as though I were there with her.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful BookBy Allan OhlsenIf I had to pick just one secondary-source for the life and times of Sojourner Truth; this book would be it. It's insightful; engrossing; thought provoking; well-cited and scholarly; yet fun to read; a wonderful resource. Ms. Washington also writes much from a spiritual perspective/context; something lacking in other sources. I highly recommend this book for any library.
