"What I enjoyed about this book was that Painter goes back to the primary sources to get the real story about Sojourner Truth. From there, Painter studies the development of the Sojourner Truth the symbol and why it is the symbol that survives today."
"very insightful to a very interesting life. it's awe inspiring how truth spun her lifestory to financially benefit herself, but also maintain a level of independence."
"This was a well researched book; sometimes a bit on the dry side, but very interesting none the less. The author focused heavily on trying to show Sojourner Truth the person, separate from the myth that she became. Interesting thing is that the myth of the Truth persona was already forming while Truth was still alive, and she allowed (encouraged?) the growth of the myth. The famous "Ain't I a Woman?" phrase is in all likelihood part of the myth, having been reported 12 years after the fact. I really had known nothing about Truth prior to reading this book other than that she was one of the premier figures in the Abolitionist and Women's Suffrage movements. Now I have an understanding of the life of the woman herself, and the context in which her myth took on a life of its own. Ought to be standard required reading as part of American History curriculum throughout the US high schools."
