Review
This collection of brief biographies (most only a few hundred words long) begins in 1619 with a slave known only as Angela, one of 20 African captives brought to Jamestown, Virginia. A host of other women follow: actresses, entertainers, politicians, teachers, businesswomen, and historians. Tonya Bolden recounts their lives in clear (but often tart) prose. Although Bolden includes many justly famous women, one strength of this book is the number of profiles about largely unknown women, such as former slaves who in the 1930s recalled their bondage for interviewers.
Review
"Tonya Bolden has compiled a treasure chest of information about African-American women. Many of the names in this book will be new to the general reader. Bolden has provided us with wonderful documentation of people who are no longer invisible, The Book of African-American Women is not a reference book but instead a gift of love." -- E. Ethelbert Miller, Director, African-American Resource Center
