I am reviewing a copy of Women of Courage: Sojourner Truth through Barbour Publishing and Netgalley:
In this book we learn of Sojourner’s Truth’s commitment. Despite not being able to read Sojourner Truth dictate The Narrative of Sojourner Truth to a friend allowing others to know how she had been freed from slavery determined to use her story to help others, she also realized that not only slaves needed liberation though, but women did as well. Sojourner Truth joined the movement in the late 1840’s. At first the Abolitionist and Women’s Movement’s joined forces until the separatists wanted to split the movements.
Sojourner Truth became popular in the Anti-Slavery and women’s right movements after her autobiography.
By the Mid 1850’s, Sojourner Truth had become known all over the United State. She wasn’t the only black woman whose anti slavery efforts drew attention. During this period, Harriet Tubman, the poet Frances E. W. Harper, and the abolitionist Sarah Remond often addressed women’s antislavery conventions and women’s rights meetings as well.

As Sojourner Truth continued to speak out in favor of the end of slavery, she insisted that freedom for blacks must be accompanied by freedom for women.
Sojourner Truth had a way of captivating her audience with her electrifying presence, her nearly six foot frame, her powerful and heartfelt, Biblically based speeches cemented her place in history as a woman of courage.
I give Woman of Courage: Sojourner Truth five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
