Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
This work by the authors of A Long Hard Journey--The Story of the Pullman Porter is a great deal more than a biography of a remarkable woman. The forceful narrative also offers a startling portrayal of a pivotal yet appalling era in American history. Born a slave in Ulster County, N.Y., in 1797, ``Hardenbergh's Belle'' (so named after her first owner) had been bought and sold by several masters by the time she was a teenager. In 1826, betrayed by an owner who reneged on his promise to free her if she ``worked extra hard,'' Belle made the first of many intrepid moves, and escaped with her youngest child. After living for some time in New York City, in 1843 the deeply religious woman followed what she interpreted as a directive from God and, assuming the name of Sojourner Truth, went off ``to do the Lord's work.'' For the rest of her long life, the indefatigable abolitionist and feminist journeyed from one state to another, delivering her impressively articulate message at anti-slavery and women's rights conventions--often to hostile, jeering audiences. The authors' meticulously researched account describes Truth's relationships with such noted figures as William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Abraham Lincoln, underscoring the book's value as a chronicle of not just one, but many courageous individuals' battles against injustice. Ages 8-12. (Nov.)
From The Critics
This is a rich biography because of the dynamic energy and brilliance of its subject. Sojourner may have been illiterate, she had to dictate her autobiography, but she spoke dramatically and sincerely from first-hand experience. Her wit and wisdom are still applicable. She spoke out for all who were oppressed, both slaves and women. Six feet tall, dressed in black, she had a presence that made people take notice. Her famous "...and ain't I a woman" speech is still a powerhouse. She is a woman for all time. 1994 (orig.

    The Most Incredible Book to ever be written

    I read this book when I was only in the fifth grade and i loved it. In school we don't learn about Our Great African American Heros. But in this book Sojourner Truth did things that should never be forgotten in our American History. I think that ever history class should read this book.

    Not the best

    This is a book I have to read for school. I don't like the way it was written. But, it is a good story.

    A nice pick for a class book

    This was recommended to me by our school librarian for the seminar class I had of 9th and 10th grade students. This was a great book since it was compelling and, of course, a true story and it interwove the historical background with her personal life. We discussed the character of Sojourner as well as the larger themes of justice and slavery, etc. Most of the students got into it.

    great book!

    At first i did not want to read the book because it was for a project, but then i could not put it down. Sojourner Truth: Ain't I a Woman? is such a great book, I choose to read it over and over again.

    This is the second black person next to MLK; her speech is so inspiring and i really believe Dr. King studied her as a civil rights speaker.

    i loved 'aint i a woman' because the title sent a chill down my back; it sounds like if im a woman by appearance than give me my rights like one.but the speech also taught me to be proud of being a black young woman who is grateful for knowing about her black history.
