Initially, I was very excited to start reading this book about the women who helped feed the movement. I like niche history books that explore those who have been forgotten with time. Unfortunately, I found the writing in this book to be unexciting. More like reading a history textbook then a moving novel about two women who helped make change during the Civil Rights Movement. I powered through but at least for me I never felt the personalities of these powerful women within the pages. This book does provide a good history of the Black Panther Party I just don't think it made these women as memorable as they could have been.

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
