Douglass' Women by Jewell Parker Rhodes
5.0
Hailed as a masterpiece of historical fiction, this classic by Jewel Parker Rhodes, the bestselling author of Voodoo Dreams, examines the role of women in Frederick Douglass' life.
I enjoyed this book. It was hard to put down. I liked the writer focused on both women, but would’ve loved a chapter or two from Douglas’s perspective. The book is a reminder that despite how we put people on hero pedestals they are flawed people too, sometimes.
