《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 3-5-- A biography with a simple text, interspersed with full-color and black-and-white archival photos on every page. Their quality ranges from clear and excellent to obviously damaged but discernible; all successfully convey the appropriate mood of courage and power in the face of poverty and helplessness. Some disturbing aspects include the textual disunity caused by full-page discussions of Frederick Douglass and the early women's movement. While relevant, the manner of the insertions is puzzling; they appear almost as fillers. Also troublesome is the author's presumption that her subject believed slavery to be honorable. While this may be intended to show the attitudes of a slave girl as opposed to those of an abolitionist, it is a difference that will be lost on the intended audience.-- Helen E.

Phot. In a uniform format these books provide introductory material on aspects of civil rights, from nineteenth-century abolitionists to current 'freedom fighters.' The photographs vary in quality, and the writing is factual but limited in depth. At times the authors are not objective. Bib., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
