What an excellent life story to share, and so very well written and shared! I've known of Pauli Murray but am so glad now to know so much more. It seems like she really was on the forefront of so much, from civil rights litigation to forming of NOW. It is a long read but I found it well worth it, and found that the reading went (or at least felt) quick given how well written and organized the book was.

An amazing person who should be more well-known.
The book was a little long though, maybe it should have been two volumes?
She passed away before it was finished being edited though.
