Harlem Rhapsody
by Victoria Christopher Murray
Masterful and Enlightening (9/17/2024)
Sexism…as a woman coming of age in the 60s is a topic I am quite familiar with….however sexism coupled with racism is a whole different ball game, one that for me as a white woman I ocan somewhat empathize with, but not totally. Authors like Ms Murray can help provide that understanding and increase our knowledge of the vast differences in the struggle to become the best you can be in the face of not just one but two "isms".

The author took me to a time and place Ive never been and provided a very insightful look at a time and place that helps in understanding where we are now and how much further we need to go.

Masterful and well done. I will read more of her work.
