It is time to acknowledge the inspiring Black women of the world. Sweep out the shadowed corners of history and you will find women and their unspoken accomplishments. Break down the baseboard of that dusty corner and you will find the stashed-away lives and stories of Black women who, for centuries, have been subjugated by a white, patriarchal society. But do not give up hope! The wise Ida B. Wells brought her light. In her words, "the way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them," and this book is a beacon of many. Powerful women you will meet in The Book of Awesome Black Women include: Sojourner Truth Aretha Franklin Coretta Scott King Jackie Joyner-Kersee Anita Hill Nobel Peace Prize winner, Wangari Maathai And many more

This is a really cool book with a lot of great information. Unfortunately, as an audiobook, it becomes monotonous and hard to listen to. There are so many women covered in the book, which is great, but the information flies by too quickly without adequate pause for reflection between. I frequently found myself wondering at all the various things a woman had accomplished, only to realize that I had missed an introduction to someone new.

I would very much like to sit down with a paper copy that I could take in slowly and in pieces, hopefully there are pictures in the paper book too so that I can more easily remember the names of these important women.
