Book Reviews of Black Women of the Old West
Book Review: Black Women existed in the West!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Old West wasn't simply white cowboys fighting Indians. In a short 75 or so pages this book recovers the faces and stories of Black women in the West. Though they are not included in the history books we read in school, these women fought against racism, built communities and tried to make a better life for themselves and their children. All of the artifacts and pictures of these women, some whose names have been lost, is like recovering some hidden treasure- we see them in all moments: serious, smiling, laughing, nervous, and dignified. But always declaring their existence. This is a great little read- especially for the kiddies.
