What The Reviewers Say

Linda Villarosa,
The New York Times Book Review
The book is most effective in unearthing the stories of little-known, everyday rebellions, especially from the lives of Black women.
Shannon Gibney,
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Illuminating, informative and, ultimately, hopeful.

Kirkus
Jackson... fuses solid research with an urgent authorial voice.

Publishers Weekly
Enthralling.
