Book Reviews of On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C.J. Walker (Lisa Drew Books)
Book Review: "On Her Own Ground" is an excellent book.
Summary: 5 Stars
"On Her Own Ground:"
"The Life and Times of Madam C.J. Walker" (Lisa Drew Books) is an excellent history book about the mid 1800's to early 1900's and it is regarding Ms. Walker's beginning business of creating and concocting new hair remedies for hair shampooing, hair conditioning, and hair growth which were necessary ingredients for black people's hair in the early days as well as it is necessary for black people's hair today. It is interesting to read about how black hair care got started historically.
I was able to write a college paper project using this book and other books and I received an 'A' for the grade on my assignment.
