Rating: Summary: The Face of Our Past Review: This book is absolutley amazing. Some may be shocked to find that it was written by two white women. I am not African American and I do not feel that this book is exclusively for African American women, it is for all races. This book shows the struggle of women and all women can learn from this book. It is a wonderful work of art for all women in every country.

Rating: Summary: Beautiful pictures, beautifully captioned Review: This is a marvelous and moving selection of visual moments, carefully chosen and elegantly captioned. It is refreshingly free of the stuffily convoluted prose one would expect of a book from an academic press. Although the pictures could be said to speak for themselves (and sometimes they can), the information supplied by the gracefully literate writer(s) is helpful and interesting. Groups of photographs can be wonderful to look at. This collection rises far above what it might have been by means of the exquisite care that was taken in its selection and the highly accessible captioning that accompanies the images.
Rating: Summary: Powerful and Inspiring Review: What a wonderful book!The images of black women and the stories behind those images surprised and moved me. They were just so interesting. Like Oprah, I bought several copies for friends. I'm going to give one to my niece as a graduation present.
