Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-23 00:00:00 Rozetta Bridgforth A little disjointed but the story of this man, so long forgotten by racism, is one that needs to be told.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-12-10 00:00:00 Perry Swinehart III Carby's recovery work on Afro-American women authors is phenomenal and traces the role that authors like Harriet Wilson, Frances Harper, and Pauline Hopkins played in shaping a distinctive tradition of American literature that has been historically underrepresented. My only critique of Carby's work is that it lacks any form of conclusion. This may be intentional as there is more to this tradition begin what Carby describes, but the abruptness of the ending makes me long to know what lies in the empty space beyond Reconstructing Womanhood.
