From Booklist
Combining accessible, lively prose and abundant visuals, this title in the Voices for Freedom: Abolitionist Views series offers an engaging, informative introduction to the early advocate for the rights of African Americans and women. The book relates and details Truth’s life and times, from her often-brutal treatment as a slave, named Isabella at birth, to her freedom, religious influences, and self-determination—including the meaning behind her self-chosen name—and path to outspoken, sometimes provocative, and influential traveling speaker on a mission to raise awareness of and support for abolitionism and justice for all. Historical context is well incorporated; sidebars further detail Truth’s actions and experiences, as do the diverse illustrations, which include vintage photos, portraits and paintings, and reproduced historical documents. Readers will come away with an appreciation and understanding of the strong, persevering woman; her contributions; and her impact and inspiration, then and now. The useful appended materials include a chronology; a glossary; some further resources, ranging from books to annotated Web sites; and an index. Grades 4-7. --Shelle Rosenfeld
