Overview / 简介: |
This unique biography of Sojourner Truth tells the exciting story of her life using personal recollections, as well as letters and articles written by those who knew her.
"I am pleading for the mothers, Who gaze in wild despair, Upon the hated auction-block, And see their children there."

Her son Peter was taken away from her and she went to extraordinary lengths to get him back. Through hard work and the help of her friends, Sojourner freed herself and her children from slavery. As a free woman, she traveled across the country speaking against slavery and in favor of women's rights.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grade 3-6-The Roops make use of recollections, historical photos, letters, and newspaper articles to reveal the personality behind Truth's famous rousing oratory, "Ain't I a Woman?" The biography covers the subject's birth into enslavement through her tireless travels across the country speaking out against slavery and fighting for social reforms, and her death at age 86 in 1883. The final chapter highlights Truth's induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1981. This book gives a complete picture, providing facts and insight into the woman's character and convictions. Black-and-white photos and reproductions are scattered throughout. Younger and reluctant readers will appreciate the large font and straightforward yet compelling narration.
