Historically woman can be overlooked a lot and had to live by their husband rules. Black women it would have been so much harder especially in America.
The book briefly touchs on her childhood, which helps the reader realise how profound her accomplishment were.
The book jumped through the her life and touched on the big events that showed her as an individual.
There was couple of times I was bit worried that the jumping would make it so that I would not be able to follow the story but that was no problem. However, there is a couple bits would maybe have enjoyed a bit more information on that period of her life. Not enough that I didn't enjoy the story or cause confusion though.
The fact that the book is based on a true person makes it even more astonishing and enjoyable a read for me.
How can one woman change from singer and dancer to soldier and spy? Best give it a read and find out.
Highly recommended to those that enjoy historical fiction or strong female characters.
