Where to begin? The art? The featured women? The succinct amount of information? Brave. Black. First. is the perfect balance of visual and informational text for a reader reading on a middle-school level and above. Each of the featured women in the book has a full page portrait adjacent to a short biographical page. The selected subjects include both historical and contemporary black women of varying renown. Sojourner Truth, Serena Williams and Ava DuVernay are just a few examples of the wide range of women included. The inclusion of mixed heritage women is also welcomed to provide a mixed-race aspect for the reader. Students who love art, history, or that want to learn about female historical figures should be sure to pick this one up.--Claudio Leon
